I just recently just recieved a brand new Mefo rear tire. I can`t get a front? Hopefully someday. I was looking at the tire and I noticed that it was stamped "3-ply`s". Only 3 ply`s? How can a good tire that everybody raves about only have three ply`s? My Kenda 270 rear I have installed right now has 6 ply`s. If I remember right? I can`t help to think that the more ply`s a tire has, the better it would be? Less chance for a puncture too. I would like to hear some feedback, please. Thanks Kyle

I thought the same thing the last time I bought tires for my 4x4 truck. The 2ply tires that came on the truck never gave me any trouble. The 3ply tires that I replaced them with was the only tires I ever put a rock through. The MEFO is a very stiff sidewall compared to the Kenda. There is lots more than the number of plys that make up a good tire. I just squeezed the sidewall on a new K270 and a new MEFO and there is a noticeable difference in stiffness in favor of the MEFO. Some people like the Kenda but I think it's selling point is it's price. The selling point on the MEFO is it's performance. I have most all MEFO tires in stock and should have the 21" MEFO in about three weeks. Fred http://www.arrowheadmotorsports.com http://s1.zetaboards.com/arrowhead
