2 Ply Tires

You will want to run your tires at a low psi all the time, since its your source of suspension. As far as what ply tire I would say it depends on the terrain your going to be riding in. I wouldn't buy anything less than 4 ply, the 2 ply tires are going to give you a better ride tho.Courage Invites Critics

hi
2ply or 4ply
The Carlisle strykers I am 99% sure are radials which have are typically different to ""normal type of tires 6x6 use""
Strykers are rated at 3 star by Carlisle ""max air pressure 7 lbs "" not ply
From memory Carlisle said to me the radial tire is as comfortable as a lesser ply , bias ply standard atv tire .There are far more pros and cons to radial vs bias ply apparently . Competition 4x4 guys understand this well .
Basically the 2/4 ply is to carry weight
It was theoretical on paper that the 2 ply were used
Normally the weight rating of a 2 ply is ok but in practice 2 ply puncture resistance is terrible that's why every one uses 4 ply
Caution as ply increases the normal operating pressure rating is higher . lb for lb a 6 ply needs to run at a higher pressure than 4 ply for the same weight . Therefore the 6 ply runs harder and rougher
By comparison if u fit 6 or 8 ply tires to a large commercial diesel z turn when 4 ply is spec ,the ride is rough ,vibration is an issue ,stress on chassis is way more. One maker I know of reinforced the chassis . If u read between the lines [besides rough operators ] Some sizes of tires are hard to get in 4ply so a lot stiffer is fitted therefore causing problems .
