Whats does 4, 6, & 8 ply mean when it comes to buying tyres?

It's the layers used in building the tyre's carcase. An 8 ply one would have twice as many as a 4 ply. Generally the more plies, the heavier duty.

I should think it is the amount of layers of rubber on the tyre and the longer lasting, better quality being the 8 ply.
