Geez, I really hadn't thought of that.  I prefer the 14" because much of
my driving is on mountian roads where high speed is not important and
gearing is -- but since I can only squeeze the Westy into the garage
with an eighth inch to spare Ron's point settles it for me.

More anecdotal evidence -- been thru about 6 sets of tires over the past
20 years and which tires I used made a huge difference in the ride &
handling.  All were correctly rated light truck tires but one brand/size
seems to me clearly the better tire.
