You can rest easy about your purchase. The 614 is made in only one Goodyear plant; Witchita, KS.
To the OP: With the raw material commodity price increases of the last year or so (mainly oil), $325-$350/tire is possibly as good as you'll see for the 614 RST. I replaced the last two OEM tires on my Ram last year (Michelins). Was over $500 for the two tires. Only reason I went ahead with the purchase is I don't like mixing brands/tread patterns and I already had two new Michelins on the front.... Next time, it'll be Coopers for me.
I feel your pain!! We tow with a dually.

You let them install tires that were a year and a half old? Chris
Latest word from Capri Racer is that this should not be a big issue if the tires were stored in a nice climate controlled warehouse the whole time.
. . . and as long as he keeps the receipt, the warrantee starts from the date of purchase.
I just got off the phone with my local Sears store and they can order the tires and have them in 3-5 business days. The price quoted was $296 per tire with $20 per tire to mount and balance. Best price I've found so far. The Sears item number I suggest you use for clarification is 09586458000. If anyone else has found a better price at a national retailer, please post. I have called Sams club per previous recommendations and was told they cannot get that tire. Thanks and safe travels, Phillip

I don't feel his pain because it is a great feeling towing with 4 rear tires.
