I just changed to the Goodyear G614s 235/85 R16s. They appear to be a really tough duty tire and made in the USA. The Goodyear Marathons (Made in China) that I pulled off had 2500 miles on them and on the rim weighed 55Lbs. The G614s on the rim weighed 80.5Lbs. 25.5Lbs of more beef. The Marathon's side walls were pretty thin compared to the G614s. I did notice a lot of sidewall bulge with the Marathons.
We are pulling out on Tuesday for Alaska. I will post back on my Alaska 2010 Blog as how they do.
The GY 614s took more weight to balance them than what I thought was normal. I guess it might make sense because they have a lot of rubber and are regroovable.
