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.

Re: what is "ply"?
But beware salesmen who ply their trade by adding the side ply to the tread
ply to make a 3-ply tire a 4-ply.
