3. Bottomline is that the G614 which 'we' use are great tires, but, they cost an arm and a leg.
Not so fast. No one has said current tires are bad. Yes, they had many accidents, injuries, and even deaths on the G519 that they kept on selling. When the 1st produced Marathons they were not bad, then they changed to junk. GY is not extremely trustworthy.
The GY G614 is a good tire. It used to be the best and deserved a premium but not a huge one. Anyone doing research will find some problems. The same research on the Sailun S 637 is much better. Also, it is 1/2 the price. Stay with the GY as you are happy and comfy with them. Many others will also, but all I know have or will switch to Sailun and NOT because of price but reputation.
