Will 4 ply be okay? | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 1,554 | If they are 4 ply rated,they are probably 2 ply tires ratred at 4 ply.They should be all right with no load or minimum loads. | | | | | Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: May 2006 Posts: 8,351 | I don't really see a problem, I think that the 4 ply tire was the base tire on the 1/2 tons. Just make sure that you keep the tire pressures to the spec for the truck. That'll be listed in the owners manual.

Multipy by 4 and that will tell you how much weight tires will hold. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 707 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jul 2006 Posts: 707 | Under ideal conditions, inflated to maximum permissible temperature, with rims in good condition, nuts torqued, etc.
