I had an emergency tire repair situation where my old tires were 13.9/24 12 ply. new tires was 8ply as only available locally at that time.
within 2 years sidewalls split on the 'mitas' 8ply. My 12 ply that we installed on our own (versus the emergency tire service when i had to plow) shows no wear at all...and was only 150 dollars more money than the mitas. don't ask me about 2 emergency service charges by the rural tire bandits.
The 8 ply has a tube in it. i'm hopeful i get some decent time out of it anyway, but definitely be sure to match ply count to your applicatoin.
my machine is a masonry forklift. it is huge. even though i rarely lift large weights, the weight of the machine was problematic for the 8ply tire ..let alone when i do lift something heavy.
so...most of you know this inside out. i 'mjust sharing for those who might want to save a buck...and who will cost themselves a lot more.
cheers,
