My Kirklands are 4 + 2 plies.  6 ply total.  4 in the tread and 2 in the
sidewall.  LT195-75/14 C rated.  Good for 50 psi, load rating of 93.

I think "real" six-ply tires went out with bias-ply tires.  Radials use
a different construction, that's why a "six ply rated" tire doesn't
really have six plies, but can still carry the same weight a six-ply
bias ply tire could have.
