YES YOU ARE RIGHT PSFORD99! but with all the rubber on a scale, you will find ST Es sufficient on most of our Montanas.
...here's the 'rub', ....
porpoising, bouncing, and running 70-80 mph vs 65..EATS the capacity of the G614
Speed Rating on the G614 is 75mph
understanding the centrifugal force stress factor is important
this is the construction factor that distorts and causes WEIRD tread wear and blow-outs
I stick to my position for my personal purchasing choice; A FIRESTONE (for example) trans-force E tire with a 110mph speed rating gets you a lot more reliability than the E OEM tires

Iripguy said it best, but let me add, those G614's of mine will never see 75 mph NEVER, so there is no worry on my part about needing a tire that will handle 110 mph,for that matter I had no problem with the oe tire that was limited to 65 mph.
