Re: what is "ply"?
Also most new tires are *ply rated, which means they can be a 2 ply tire but
the composition of the plys allow them to be rated as a 4 ply tire, and so on.... New compositions have allowed this, which in turn has produced a lighter tire with the same ratings as an older and heavier tire. gordon old cj-7 "DougW" <post.replies@invalid.address> wrote in message news:TNGgb.279$y_4.2@news2.central.cox.net... > Joshua Nelson did pass the time by typing: > > Doing tire research, I looked back through the google archives.
