Try a track day on your commercials and see what the results are. I'd predict not very good.
My regular MOT tester says it's OKl.
I don't think the tyre specification plate says a ply-rating, does it? It's the size, pressure and load that matter, and you mustn't drive faster than the speed rating of the tyres.

I'm not interested in the potential track performance of the car. I want something tough, cheap, long-lasting, and with a chunky tread for grip on muddy/leafy potholed rural roads.
