ST Westlake to Goodyear G114 Tires
I’m considering upgrading from 16” ST tires to 17.5” Goodyear G114 tires. For those that have made this switch, did the stiffer sidewalls of the G114s cause concern due to the rougher ride on those tires? Do you believe your trailer is experiencing a rougher ride? Thank you in advance for your input.

I haven't noticed any change in how the interior of my camper appears to fair with the switch.

No regrets. No noticable difference in the ride quality. Fully trust the G614's

I think my ride was slightly rougher, but so far no flats so I'm happy! No regrets.
