The reason some aircraft go to 6 or 8 ply tires is due to landing speed and weight.
Remember that tire goes from 0 to landing speed instantly. The stress on the sidewalls can cause failure. Are you willing to distroy or damage your aircraft for a few pounds.

As someone who has gone through a wide variety of KR tires over the years, going to less sturdy tires seems to me a false economy Stef.
