Yes Mark... 10 ply rating, but I dont think they really have ten plies (plys?). Radials always have that flexible sidewall. I don't know how wide my rims are but they mostly came from jailbar half tons. These ten ply tires come on and off the rims so much easier and are way more pliable than the old 6 ply 6.50 16s I peeled off the old rims. The new radials are considerably lighter in weight than the bias truck tires I removed. And they don't look pinched at all. Wife, dog and I heading to town in 2 minutes for another joy ride.
