Scott,

I will replace the tires, the question is whether or not switch to 15" wheels.
If it lowers the chances of a blowout, then i guess it is. If most of the blowouts were a result of improper maintenance or defective tires then I might stay with the 14'" wheels to avoid the expense of changing everything over.
