To add more fuel to the fire:
Many people who are reporting that they "ONLY" changed from ST tires to LT tires neglect to mention they also changed a) from size 235/80R16 to 235/85R16 (The aspect ratio change also affected the load carrying capacity) and b) they changed from a no-name brand to a name brand.
In the case of Goodyear G614 the aspect ratio seems to be only on paper since the tire is listed by Goodyear as being the same physical size as the Carlisle ST 235/80-16. Several people have gone to Sailun, which hardly qualifies as a "name brand", but the jury is still out on that so far. I would consider that Carlisle is a "name brand", and Sumitomo AFATG.
So what's your point?
