The Westlake ST235/85R16 LRG is not a steel cased tire. However they do advertise nylon overlays for that size.
When not abused by overloading or under inflation they have above average reviews.
Anytime a larger/stiffer tire is used in place of the OE tires, suspension issues are more apt to happen. That's why most will recommend staying with the original designated size and add a load range with the replacements if available.
