You are probably better served by looking at the load index. You will note that a tire may have a ply "rating" this does not mean that the tire has that many plies - just that it meets the load rating for a particular load range.

Very few tires say they are reinforced and I don't know if it is just that many are not reinforced or that I can take reinforced sidewalls for granted in a light truck tire with a high load index.
