    The reason I ask, is that I just noticed on Tyresales that they have a 4 ply version, and I am wondering if it is sidewall or tread, as it is $70 less.

    Edit - sent an email to Hankook to ask this question

    RF10 = 10 ply tyre.

    Put these on my Perentie a while back. fairly happy with them. quite quiet, good grip on wet tarmac, haven't had them off road so cannot provide feedback on that.

    They are a 'bulgy' tyre. they do seem to take a lot more pressure than most to flatten out the sidewall, particularly when weight is applied (load in the back) which is a shame as running 40-45 PSI does give quite a hard ride. I suppose that is a reflection on the fact that they are and LT (light truck) tyre even with their off-road/AT capabilities.

    No, the "regular" RF10 in 255/55R19 is 6ply tread and 2 ply sidewall (8 ply total) and isn't LT rated - I have a set on my D4

    So there's 2 versions of RF10 in 255/55/19??
    Hankook website seems to show only one.
    I did note that Tyre Sales had 2 at different prices, however.

    Confused now.

    Yes, so hopefully I can get an answer from Hankook after the weekend to find out the full story, as "4 ply" doesn't state where these 4 plies live. If it is in the tread area, then there is no way I would want that, but if it is sidewall, then I would be very happy to replace my current ones (when they wear out) with a stronger sidewall version

    I did some research on these tyres a few months back and understood the side walls to be 3 ply, with 4 ply along the edge of the sidewall where it meets the tread. This is particularly useful given the narrow tread width and the resulting sidewall bulge which exposes the sidewall to increased puncture risk.

    Light truck? Not sure as they are still 111 load rated, but happy to be proven wrong. Finally we can get light truck tyres in 19"

    Plies aren't additive - the sidewall plies are also under the tread being 2 of the 6 plies.

    I asked the tyre shop this as I saw the two tyres on tyresales. He said there was only one tyre available in that size.

    Yes, I may have worded it incorrectly:
    Tread plies: 6 (2 Steel + 2 Polyester + 2 Nylon)
    Sidewall plies: 2 (the 2 Polyester plies from above)
    Was in regards to if "RF10" means tread+sidewall, then mine would be called RF08

    Could have at least cleaned it before you took the photo

    Good to know the most basic information is sometimes right in front of our eyes!
