Hello Brian
There is a lot to learn from tire specs. The ply rating is not the actual
number of plays. Some tires have for instance 4 ply's along the bottom and
only two along the sidewalls. A 4 Ply rating means that the tire should act
like it has 4 ply's, but may only be constructed with tw
6 matches
