Stories start and even the managers get caught-up in the frenzy.
Let's look at a fact that could have started it.
In the RV trailer industry the G614 is commonly found on vehicle certified 7000# axles. When the new 10% reserve load capacity above vehicle certified GAWRs was introduced by RVIA, 98% of all USA trailer manufacturer's were effected. Applying that 10% recommendation would make the G614 ineligible for OEM fitments on such 7000# axles. Goodyear loyalist consumers would want another qualified tire from GY and that tire could be the Endurance ST255/85R16 LRE.
