Got them put on today.
Here is the tire construction per the sidewall:
Tread: 2 Polyester, 2 Steel, 2 Polyamide
Sidewall: 2 Polyester
As I said the tires built to carry your weight day-in-and-day-out (as on a motorhome) are built with all steel in the tread and sidewall. Or are of a much more beefy construction, think 19.5" tires.
Any material besides steel in the tire allows for much more tire squirm which builds heat and heat is BAD for tires and tread life. Besides the possibility of a delamination in the plys, the warmer the tire gets the easier the tread wears away. Make sure you are fastidious about keeping them inflated properly to help offset that.
