2 ply tires ?

Recommended Posts

John c

I'm thinking about going with a 2 ply rear tire for my B100 project. my thoughts are the 2 ply should be softer in the sidewalls and may give better contact patch and look. Anybody have any experience to share about 2 ply vs 4 ply.

 

thanks

 many times 2 ply 4 ply are merely a rating.  Many 4 ply rated small tires only have two plys when you cut into them

4 ply rated

That is the key phrase to look (or look out) for....

A lot of the "Not from around here" brands are 2 ply. Two ply tires are easier to mount, but not as puncture resistant as four ply tires....
