I understand the reasons for up sizing, I understand the causes of flats.
I'm not to concerned about there being a weight increase, because the wheels on there now are rather heavy compared to a 15" steel rim. I always travel with a spare but in the case of debris or any road hazards shredding more than one tire I want to have a size I can easily find. I agree that tire rack is a great source for tires but I honestly buy tires from walmart because I know that no matter where I am in the country I can always get a replacement through the road hazard warranty they offer.
