The simple way to tell is to look closely at the tire. In tiny print
there is a list of the number and type of plies in the tread and
sidewall. Look for MORE than 1 sidewall ply.


In 15", Michelin LTX family, also sold by Sears as Michelin XC.

Very few tires say they are reinforced and I don't know if it is just that many are not reinforced or that I can take reinforced sidewalls for granted in a light truck tire with a high load index.
