There were a couple members reporting strange wear issues last spring, but the vast majority of us who have the 614's are experiencing good use from them.

Was the tire wear maybe form aleignment, bearings or bad wheel?

I know the tire issue has been talked about repeatedly. I was under the impression that the G rated tires took care of most of the problems.

Goodyear G rated for me! New two months ago, 9000 miles look great! Even wear and no air loss. I have suspension checked all the time and an nuts about preventative maintanence ! But in all fairness as I reported before, my E rated Marathons held up extremely well and had 11,000 miles when I sold them on Craigslist !

Upgraded to 17.5" wheels and am running the GY G114 tires.

Just got back from a 2300 mile trip and all went well. Tires still look new.

The reason we did this is to give us a bigger safety margin. Not cheap but was worth a little more peace of mind while traveling.

Can you put the 17.5 wheel and tire on a 2014 Montana 3150Rl and if so where can you find the rims and tire

Trailer Tires and Wheels in Ohio. Can get you everything mounted and balanced. The 17.5s are actually a fraction smaller in diameter than the OEM Mara-bombs.

Back in August we had our first and last Mara-bomb failure. My first impulse was to but 5 new G614 Goodyear’s but after looking at our travel habits and future plans till retirement in 4 years decided to go with the Sailun S637. We’ll keep you posted on how they do.
