I know those are some stout tires but I find this a little hard to accept. Molded in to the sidewall of every tire is a description of the actual plies the tire is made with, in tiny print. One line has the number of sidewall plies and the other has the number of tread plies. Can one or both of you guys please look at a tire and tell us exactly what is written about the plies?

Also, what pressures do you run in those things?
