Yes, I love those 10.50 x 16's as well but only for off road & basically what I like is the look :)
I'd Hazzard a guess the Chinese radials would perform better both on & off road.
Radials are just so much better than bias & so the only down side to Michelin's...I mean on road, the benefit is obvious. Off road, I believe traction would be way better...the thin sidewall is the only down side & I've seen several Michelins with torn sidewalls.
Other than that...I think radials are just better.
