It is my opinion that the GY G614 RST will never again be seen on 7000# vehicle certified GAWRs. Why? They cannot provide the load capacity to meet the RVIA 10% load capacity reserves for OE tire fitments on those axle loads.

Look at the difference:

GY LT235/85R16 LRG at 110 PSI, max load 3750#
ANY ST235/85R16 LRG at 110 PSI, max load 4400#

7000# X 1.1 = 7700# / 2 = 3850#

Anyone working as a tire installer in the tire industry should (SHOULD) know the tire industry standards require replacement tires to provide, at the minimum, a load capacity equal to or greater than the OE tires provided.
