I was going to go with Goodyear G114s on 17.5s but the cost would have been pretty high. The rig came with the 16 inch wheels, in order to shift over I would have had to buy new wheels, replace the wheel studs changing from 1/2 to 9/16 inch. The tires are a bit higher than G614s but they are rated at 4750. So the total cost would have been close to 3 thousand + . I got the G614s for 360 each mounted. If I had gone with the g114 and 17.5s the rims would have added about another 2K to the equation. I had an estimate to remove the old 1/2 inch studs and drill and reinstall 9/16 inch studs and it was about 100 bucks a wheel. If you can get the dealer to pop for the 17.5 wheels/tires/ lugs then you good to go but it is just to costly for me to go that route.
