Just came back from Mickey's rally in Williston, FL. While I was there I had my rig weighed by "Weigh-It". I was very pleased to hear that everything was within limits...close, but within limits.
While he was there, Bill (the owner of Weigh-It) noticed very slight wear on all of the 5th wheel's tires (just on the outside). We started talking about tires and he made a comment that I haven't stopped thinking about. He said that when I'm ready to buy new tires and "if I wanted to bullet proof my rig as far as tires go", I should consider going to a 17.5 wheel and a J or G 114 Goodyear tire. I don't remember if he said J or G. I don't even know if they make a J or a G.
He also mentioned that I wouldn't have any problems at all selling my 16 inch wheels and G614 Goodyear tires.
I have heard many good comments about the Goodyear G614 but when it's time to get new tires I would not mind spending a few more bucks to "bullet proof" any potential tire problems.
I need to know if this is a good or bad idea, and of course, WHY?

Thank you
