The ply rating of a tire is no longer a good indication of load capacity as manufacturing processes have now become more advanced which means they are able to obtain a greater capacity with fewer plies. That said, the 10 and 12 ply tires you are referring to likely have different load ranges therefore psi ratings so it will not be a good idea to mix them on a trailer. I must recommend you run all tires with the same load range/ply rating. If you can let me know the size of tire you need as well as well as your weight limits, I would be happy to recommend some options but have otherwise attached a list of our selection below.
