Mr Anderson Wrote:Yes E rated tires are much stiffer than lower load ratings, it is because of the number of plys in the tire. E rated tires have like 10 plys alternating rubber and polyester. Also more plys in the sidewall. As you go down in load rating you have fewer plys.
That's the way they were. Now it's ply ratings, not actual plys. You can have an E-rated with 2 ply sidewalls now. I'll post up an example or two when I get a chance. Right now I'm off to help a man of the cloth deal with DMV.
