6 ply or 10 ply. Would I see a difference?
Towing a 7000lbs tt with F150 2021 w/ 6 ply factory tires. Experiencing some bouncing. Would I see a difference with 10ply tires?would the ride w/o a trailer be too stiff? Thank you MC

^Which I acknowledged.
Terry said new rims would be in order for 51 psi tires. Not needed, at 50 psi. Not needed at higher pressure either.
Do I have a rating? Nope. Do I care? Nope. Have I been airing up half ton tires as needed for 30 + years when I needed to haul or tow something that by rights should have had a bigger truck under it? Yup. Sometimes you gotta work with what you got…
And the difference between p and xl tires is not balloon vs basketball it’s more like quality basketball vs cheap basketball. PS if you aired a balloon up to basket ball pressure it would pop.
No, E load tires don’t ride notably harsher than P tires at the same pressure. Little bit by that can be made the same by a couple psi adjustment. This is an assertion that I’ve only seen on this website which is 99% not only counterintuitive but also 99% false.
The MAJORITY of the load carrying capability and stability is due to the pressure. Not debatable. If you don’t believe me, go air up your P or XL tires to 60psi, take a drive and come back and tell me they don’t ride like flintstone wheels. Or better yet, hook up a heavy trailer, drive a winding road at 44psi in the rear and then try it at 60psi. If your scared to do this with P tires do it with E load tires. There will be a noticeable difference if the trailer is pushing the truck around at the lower pressure.
The speculation of folks on here who haven’t actually done things but think they know how it will react is sometimes astounding….
