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.

IMO that's a good thing to leave those G614's OFF any 7K axle. As said before those tires have done more damage to fifth wheels than any another tire on the market, and their little brother the Marathon is close behind.
There is a member on another forum that is a Goodyear loyalist, and finally after his 18 month old G114's threw the tread ,not the first for him ,he's finally got the message ,and is going with another brand . This last episode tore up the fender on his Mobile Suite.This was not the first time on damage ,but he still stuck with Goodyear until this last time .
