Dealer says your tires are 12 ply it says 1 ply side wall steel belted and 4 ply steel belted tread why the why is the dealer saying 12 ply when nothing is on tire?

This all stems back to bias tires. A few decades ago, to gain more load carrying capability, tire manufacturers added more plies to increase the amount of pressure a tire could safely contain. Remember, the pressure carries the load, but the plies contain the pressure. Switch to radial tires, specifically radial truck tires (19.5, 22.5, etc.), tire manufacturers now use 1 single steel cord ply that runs radially from one bead to the other that has the equivalient strength of multiple fabric plies that were used in bias tires. Even with light truck tires, you might see a load range E radial tire referred to as a 10 ply tire, does it have 10 plies? Nope, usually 2 or in some cases 3 very strong polyester body plies.


What does tire load range mean?

The load range indicates the ply rating of the tire or the number of plys under the tread. A = 2 ply B = 4 ply C = 6 ply D = 8 ply E = 10 ply F = 12 ply G = 14 ply H = 16 ply J = 18 ply L = 20 ply M = 22 ply N = 24 ply This has a direct relation to the Load Index which tells you the weight the tire can carry. The more plys the more weight the tire can carry.


How bad will bias ply tires decrease gas mileage?

The rolling resistance to be overcome regardless of tire type at 55mph requires under 10 horsepower of a typical passenger car. While bias ply tires do offer more resistance, the difference is extremely small - a bias ply may require the maximum of 10 hp, but even if the radial reduces this to the minimum, about 6 hp, the 4 hp difference will take a full tank of gas under exactly the same driving conditions to measure a difference in gas mileage. Gas mileage is not a valid reason, alone, to choose radial tires. However, noise, ride comfort, tire heat, adhesion, are all reasons not to use bias ply unless really necessary. In addition, Nylon bias ply tires "set" in cold weather and result in a "thump-thump" until they warm up.

What is the tire pressure for 315 70 17?

if an 8 ply, cold max is 65, if 10 ply cold max is 80. most people will run about 10 psi short of this. If it's a diesel sometimes the more the merrier. closest to max that is. if you tow, close to max for sure. tires need this to cool efficiently. watch the center of your tire tread, if the center is wearing faster, back the pressure off some, 10 lbs or so.
