Good radial tyres of 10.00R20 size offer a very high tyre mileage of as high as 1 Lac kilometer also if the vehicle plies on good roads, with normal braking, when proper tyre alignment and wheel balancing is done regularly. Nylong tyres of the same size yield slightly lower tyre life compared to their radial counterparts. Likewise, smaller tyres offer slightly less tyre life

In general, ply rating denotes the load carrying capacity of the tyres. The higher the ply rating the more is the load carrying capacity of tyre
