It's time for new tires on my truck. I'm trying to decide which load rating and ply count to buy. I hunt some areas where a lot of the roads are covered with sharp rocks. I'm trying to find the balance between puncture prevention of a 10-ply and the quieter ride of a thinner tire.
Those of you that have used both thin and thick-ply tires, how much difference in road noise is there on the highway? I'm leaning toward a 10-ply E load rating, but the 6-ply Goodyear set the truck came with has provided a good ride and handled my rocky roads with no problem so far.
I have also been told that the 10-ply will wear faster. Do you agree?
