I have an SOB that came with 17.5 inch Goodyear G114 H rated tires. My 5th wheel weighs out at >19,000 lbs and with >32,000 miles on the tires there is still plenty of tread. So from my point of view, if I get 60,000 miles out of the tires it will more than pay for the price differential. Plus the piece of mind that there has to be something really bad on the road to damage the tires. The only real drawback I can see is the weight of the wheels. As I recall the mounted G614s weighed around 80-85 lbs each and the 17.5 G114s weigh closer to 95 lbs (or so I have been told, I have yet to have to change one).
