dually needs new shoes

My 6 ply did not last. thinking of 8 or even 10ply for the next set.
Any ideas?
Keeping it stock size.

If i had some cash id switch to the big rig tires they get more mileage out of them.

I'd say 10 ply. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Real trucks deserve nothing less than 10 ply. Long, long ago, when I drove a 1/2 ton, I owned lesser tires. My last three (two F250s and now my F350) have all had 10 plys, or equivalent radials, load range E's. I'm coming up on "re-shoeing" time, myself. Six tires are probably going to be expensive, too!
