FYI:
Though perhaps reputed otherwise, the G614 is in fact a trailer tire, just without the dread "ST" label.
Even Goodyear itself only specifies it for trailer use. Try to get it to come up for any other application at this Goodyear tire selector link and you'll see what I mean. It is speed rated to 75, as are LT's. Plus it has that magic "LT" thing goin' on in the name...somewhere...

Me Again - Checked my poor memory by just looking at the tires...again ๐
They are RH, and the date code is only 1yr old, not 3. So hopefully I've got quite a few miles and years still ahead of me, and also hopefully Carlisle got it right this time.

Does anyone else have Carlisle RH LRF tires? They have a ST235/85R16 with 3960 capacity. Our current 5er came with these tires (~3yr old) a few months ago. So far, so good; but I don't have a lot of experience with them.
I wrote Carlisle inquiring about their poor past and they replied the RH tires introduced a few years ago are significantly better than the prior ST tires they had, and they have not seen issues with them. Any unbiased users with experiences good/bad with their RH F tires? If the tires really are good it opens up another option for this often floated question.

The G614 at 57.5 pounds has little in common with the 35.4 pound GY Marathon. It does not appear to carry a service description like many LT tires do. And the side wall is branded for trailer service only.
Even the Michelin XPS RIB with much has a service description of 115 Q or 120 Q depending on size, when viewed via Michelin RV tire site carries a 75 MPH speed restriction.

G614's are unique in that they are rated for 75 mph .
They are the one exception that is a trick question in the " Tire Wars " threads that occur from time to time around here .
I have LT265/75R16 LRE snow tires mounted on my stock 6.5 " width GM aluminum wheels .
I have been doing that for 17 years now on my last 2 pickups .
It is common practice around here because the factory 245 / 75 are not enough tire .
Works fine .

No, the G614's are G-rated LT tires and are rated for higher than 65 mph. AFAIK all ST tires are rated for 65 mph.
