I could use some help from this knowledgeable forum with a mystery. What is the reason that the Goodyear 8.00 X 6.00 4 ply tire and tube is so damn much more expensive than the 6 Ply? It seems bas-ackwords. Tire 8.00 X 6.00 4 ply PN. 804C41-1 Price $338.00. Recommended tube PN.06-00821 Price $206.00 Total $544.00. Compared to Tire 8.00 X 6.00 6 ply PN.806C61-5 Price $219.00. Recommended tube PN.06-06300 price $83.00 Total $302.00. I think I would rather have a 4 ply tire. It should offer better flotation and it’s a few lbs. lighter. but I don’t understand why it costs $484.00 more for a set than the 6 ply? What am I missing? Is there something special about the 4 ply? Is it made from unatanimun and unicorn feathers? I was thinking that perhaps Goodyear sells very few 4 ply tires, so a higher price would be in order, but that does not explain why Aircraft Spruce and others recommend a different (and much more expensive) tube for the 4 ply. I checked several other sellers on the price, but there is not much difference. Any ideas on why the big price difference? Regards, Ed

Please disregard my previous post, After going over it a few more times. I realized that I was not comparing apples to apples. Have a great 4th!

Disregard all that 8.00 stuff and buy a couple 8.50s. You'll be happy.

I had a set of Goodyear 8.50x6.00 tires for 8 years and loved them. Jeremy recommended the Goodyear since they wear better than other brands and I'm glad that I went with them. They're heavier and larger (21") than other brands. The rubber is very thick and tough. I bought Goodyear tubes for them as well and found them to be thick and tough as well. It was a bit of a challenge to get the tubes on the rims because of that but not a show stopper. There was still tread and no signs of wear through to the plies when I replaced them in 2016 with 31" ABI tundra tires.
