More so than the number of plys, I would look at the individual tire ratings. I think 2 doors from with a 108 and 4 doors with a 111. As close to these numbers as possible without going under should give you the best ride quality while still giving you the support you need.

Where can these numbers be found?

Jeepnboy

They can be found on the tires or most manufactures have this information on their techincal listings. I have specifically found this information from BFG and Goodyear, on thier websites.

I also just found this information on discounttire.com. They list it had part of the tire size. Here is the tire size for a BFG KM2 - 35X12.50R17D2 119Q W. The 119 is the number I am referring to; I think it is the weight rating. Here is the tire size for the Goodyear with Kevlar: 35X12.50R17C2 111Q B.

In theory, I think the 111 rating should give a softer ride than the 119.

Thats what i thought. i talked a lot with him about that set up. i wonder why he sold it?

After the 255/75/17 it says 113T, is that what you are talking about?

Jeepnboy

The 113, that is it.

So I guess it's not that harsh a tire.

Jeepnboy

I would agree with that assumption.

So what's the best to run for a daily driver? 6 ply and low rating?

Jeepnboy

I would personally try and stick with a C, or 6-ply tire for a wrangler. But again, there are so many other factors. You want a flexible sidewall that is puncture resistant. BFG's are a good choice and the new MT/Rs with Kevlar seem to be a great option as well. Few other tires can truely compete in an all around comparison.

I can definitely say and recommend avoiding a 10-ply or E rated tire on a wrangler.
