OK. I ran the new Carlisle CSL 16s 550 miles at about 70-75 mph
I aired them up to the max 110 and they heated up and stayed under 120 psi for the whole trip. No issues. No wobble. I had two VERY tight turns where the trailer tires were just almost pivoting and there was no issue.
I am going to put about 1,000 miles on them in a week or so. Hopefully nothing to report again!!!
So far very pleased...
Wow! You =really= must not like having money by towing that fast. Slow down to 65, or less, and you'll likely pick up 2-4 mpg. Slowing from 65 to 60 (old tires) picked me up almost 2 mpg with my old Komfort.

Yes I saw a SIGNIFICANT difference in mileage on my first trip at 65ish to my second at 70-75.
I think I got 11 mpg driving 65 and 9 mpg driving 70-75.
Slowing down will have the greatest effect on the fuel mileage towing. You probably cannot measure the difference in fuel economy of tire a at 55 vas 75 MPH.
In my opinion, 75 mph is just too fast o be towing a 5th wheel.
