I really don't care what anyone runs for tires but for us the change to 17.5 tires and wheels was worth it for the peace of mind that my tires won't self destruct when going down the road.

Sorry you had a bad experience with G614's 7 years ago. I guess my main point is to the OP that they must have made some changes because in the last several years I have never heard anyone claim they are bad tires.
If going to Sumitomo 17.5 tires would require new rims, then paying $320 or so for G614's would still be the best purchase. Of course if you are too heavy for G614's then you should be moving up to an H rated anyway.
