With your rig and a total rated capacity of a little over 14,000 pounds, you should be able to use LT-type tires instead of the 614's. This will save you a bunch of money also. The 614's have a carry capacity of 3750 pounds whereas most LT type tires are a little above 3,000. Our rig has a loaded capacity of just shy of 16,000 pounds, which is why we opted for the 614's. Using the specced pin-weight for your rig (which is probable on the light side), you would have 12,000 pounds riding on your four tires, the LT's will be marginal, but with a larger reserve capacity that is inherent with that type of tire, you would be fine. Choosing the brand is the more difficult aspect, as everyone has their own favorites. LonnieB (our MOC tire guru) has provided his listing of preferred LT tires, which you should be able to track down using the search function. Hope this helps, the other alternative is to e-mail or PM Lonnieb, he is very helpful and will give you his honest opinion.
