Those tires are (or were) made by Cooper, I'm not sure they still build 'em.
Nope, not radial.
I'll look later and get the model name when I go out and plow the 7-inches of snow we got over night... grrrrrrrrrrr.........
I guess aggressive is in the eyes of the beholder. I wanted a center tread that would still run down the paved road if needed, but a side lug that would grab every stone, tree root, etc. when needed. Narrow to cut through the crap instead of riding on top and falling through at the most inopportune time, leaving you stranded. When I'm making tight maneuvers in deep snow or mud, like around trees and blow-downs in the woods those tires just can't be beat. I'm not an off-roader, I don't play off-road, usually I'm off-road because I have a purpose for getting where I'm going... I pick my route carefully.
Dad said to me once, "Boy, if'n ya' need ta' spin your wheels ta' git where you're a goin'... ya' ain't got the right tires."
I rarely ever "spin my wheels", I drive forward until I feel them starting to slip... then stop, back up and re-access...
I'm not an off-roader either and go off-road for the same purpose as yourself. Good mindset for driving off-road and good advice from your dad. Throttle control is key also.
To stay on topic, my latest set of tires are Cooper Discoverer ST's (LT265/75-16, C rated, 6 ply). When it's time for a new set, it'll be the same tires except maybe in a LT245/75-16 C rated...should be easier on the 4.6L V8 (97' F150 4x4, 3.55 gears).
