...Another thing to keep in mind is that an LT tire has a 65 mph max speed stamped right on the sidewall. While we don't often tow above that speed anyhow, I don't like being that close to that limit on tires I know are weak to start with. And when each of my parents passed away and we had to tow the rig half way across the country (both times) in a hurry, the cruise was set on 70 mph for 400 to 600 miles per day. It's nice to not have to worry whether the tires can handle that...
Lots of good information, but it's the STs that are limited to 65, not the LTs.
Hooker, brainf**t on my part. I mixed up ST and LT. You are correct and the G614 is an LT tire, not an ST. No idea how I managed to mix them up. I know better. Will edit my post pronto. Thanks for pointing it out.
