Tire Ply! Here we go again!!

IMO that is a good tire size for our trucks. That works out to about 32.5/10.5.

What load range are the nittos that you put on, and are they the terra grapplers? I have had good experiences with the terra grapplers in the past and have had them on quite of few of my work trucks.

I personally would not put a E Range (10ply) tire on a Tacoma unless you were doing some serious off roading. I am planning on pulling the 10 ply Yokohama's off my truck and putting them on my 3/4 ton diesel due to the lack of need for them on the Taco anymore.

 

Thanks. Never paid attention to that.

 

Yeah i think the nittos i got are a 6 ply, i hope they end up lasting, i put them on next saturday because they had to order them from some place so yeah

 

I Read this on TireRack.com tech info. Not saying it's true, just passing it along.

The load range or ply rating branded on a tire's sidewall helps identify its strength and ability to contain air pressure. While specific load ranges are assigned to passenger tires, load ranges are identified in ascending alphabetical order for light truck tires (the further along the letter is in the alphabet, the stronger the tire and the greater amount of air pressure it can withstand and load it can carry). Before load ranges were adopted, ply ratings were used to identify the relative strength of light truck tires with higher numerical values assigned to tires featuring stronger, heavier duty constructions.
Today's load range/ply ratings do not count the actual number of body ply layers found inside the tire, but indicate an equivalent strength based on early bias ply tires. Most radial passenger tires have one or two body plies, and light truck tires, even those with heavy duty ratings (10-, 12- or 14-ply rated), actually have only two or three fabric body plies, or one steel ply.


Hope this helps.

 

I was looking over on the expedition portal forums and quite a few guys over there run 235/85s on land rovers, gen 1 tacos, gen 2 tacos, and love them. Evidently they wear like iron.

They do look thin from the front...
