It truly is all about peace of mind. Yes, G614's are overkill for many, but not after having a blow out on the interstate and a "mere" $1800 damage to the rig (we were REALLY lucky, if you can believe any part of having a blow out is any way lucky). So on top of the deductible, we sprang for the best rated tires we could find,and new rims to hold them, and we have never looked back. I check the pressure before each trip, and re torque the lugs every other trip. I know my efforts will not totally prevent a recurrence, but I feel far more confident when I hit the road that I have the best equipment I could get to keep us safe.
