4 ply vs 6 ply

Mike CA · Nov 4, 2009

For a parade / show tractor, will 6 ply tires wear better on the pavement? I know the extra ply was for protecting against sharp things like briars, but I don't know if it means the tire will wear less and last longer on the pavement.

Any thoughts?

tire guy said no. doesn't mean anything on the lug surface.

The four ply will last forever used in lite duty.

I am with Gene, is this a serious question?

You will NEVER wear out a set of tires on a parade tractor, MAYBE on a very serious tractor ride machine.

unless your a curb rubber like some women, other wise no longer.

The way you are going to use that tractor, if they made 2 ply tires they would last forever. As stated below, the tread will wear the same regardless of the ply rating.

C'mon Mike. You are going to spend $1000 for a set of new rear tires? And match them up with the 2 ply motorcycle tires on the front?

:lol:

No Gordo. I'm getting rid of the Harley tires. I'm chasing a nice set of tires on the internet. If I don't get those, I'm getting new ones from a local dealer. I just want to know what I should get first. 4 ply will be fine.
