I work at a dealership that sells side by sides. The tires that come in on our (Diesel Commercial) units are 2 ply. Most of the time we take the 2 ply off on our lot now, and toss them in a pile. Can hardly sell the takeoffs for the performance. We sell aftermarket 10 ply tires with good tread that work a lot better on these units. 2 ply are generally pretty bad offroad. Knowing the market, I would definitely say you get what you pay for. a 10 ply $185-200 tire will last you 3-4 times as long as a cheap tire. We've seen 3-400 hours with factory tires, and in some cases 2000 hours on 10 ply tires. Proper inflation is key. Atleast on the commercial units we run them on. Just my 2 cents.
