I thought as much, which is why I went the direction of drive specific lugged tires for more traction, but after talking to many commercial drivers here in AK, they all say the same thing- for touring purposes, ribbed tires all the way around. This is what the RV Tire Co recommended as well, unless I am going to be doing a lot of dirt roads, lots of snow, etc. A shallow (fuel efficient) tread might lend itself to punctures easier, but with that ply rating, it's still a very robust tire.
