What load range is a 6 ply tire?

C” load range
For example, a “C” load range indicates that a tire is equivalent to a 6-ply construction tire….

What does 6 ply rated Mean?

A higher ply rating number indicates a greater load range for the tyre. One important thing about the ply rating is that if the tyre says 6 ply rating, it doesn’t necessarily means it has in fact six layers of ply but it indicates that the tyre has same strength as of 6 ply.

How much weight can tires hold?

In other words, it’s the amount of weight your tire can support safely. For example, if a tire has a load index of 92, it can support 1,389 pounds at maximum air pressure. Multiply that by four tires (4 x 1,389 = 5,556 pounds) to get your car’s maximum load carrying capacity.

How much weight can a 6 ply tire hold?

at 35 p.s.i. A Load Range C means a 6 ply rated tire with a maximum load of 1,760 lbs.

Is a 6 ply tire good?

the 6 ply tire is alittle tougher tire and if you drive on some rocky or rough roads then the 6 ply would probably be a better choice. but in my opinion you,ll get a better ride on the hiway with the 4 ply tires. and unless you just use the truck for towing i would be happy with the 4 ply tires.

Is a higher ply tire better?

Trailer tires should be inflated to the maximum psi indicated on the tire. A tire in the same size but with a higher ply rating would be able to combat some of that but can eventually have the same issues. With that said the 14 ply tires will definitely hold up better than the 10 ply.

Are all LT tires 10-ply?

LT tires are usually 8-ply (Load Range D) or 10-ply (Load Range E). Passenger Tires usually have a 4-ply or 6-ply equivalent sidewall.

Is Load Range D or E better?

For a given brand and size tire, the load range E has a higher maximum load capacity than the load range D. The E tire is built and rated for 80 psig, while the D tire is (as I recall) built and rated for 65 psig maximum inflation pressure.

Which is better 6 ply or 8 ply tires?

Actually the 6 ply will last longer than the 8 ply. The reason is the extra size of the body plies in a trailer tire will actually produce more heat while rolling than a 6 ply rated tire. I definately recommend radila and not bias ply construction. Radial tires wear much better.

Is a 6 ply tire better than a 4 ply tire?

The 6 ply tires are significantly heavier than the 4 ply, meaning you have more rotational mass with the 6 ply tires. They are more cut resistant than most of the 4 plys though. I have raced MX and SX on my 6 ply tires, and only really notice a small difference between both tires.

Is a LT tire 10 ply?

What’s the range on a tire ply rating?

The load range scale includes letters “A” through “L,” however, most truck/SUV tires with towing and load capabilities, including LT metric and flotation tires, fall somewhere between “C” and “F.” Here’s how the load range rating (left) corresponds to the old ply rating system (right):

What’s the capacity of a 4 ply tire?

Both these types have a 4-ply rating, but the Extra Load can support additional load at up to 42 PSI, vs. the Standard Load’s 36 PSI. Ply Rating is on a tire to provide the load carrying capacity at specific tire pressures.

What does the load range and ply rating mean?

“The load range/ply rating branded on a tire’s sidewall identifies how much load the tire is designed to carry at its industry specified pressure.”.

What does it mean to have a higher ply rating?

In other words, you might use a bigger tire or a tire running at a higher inflation pressure. Either way, the tire needs to be strong enough to handle the higher capacity. The traditional ways of defining this are “Ply Rating,” “Load Range,” and “Load Index.” What is meant by “Ply Rating?”
