One thing I never realized about my "ST" tires is that they are rated for 65mph max. In Arizona, our interstate speed limit is usually 75mph. However, with that said, there always appears to be a vehicle cruising down the highway at something less than 65. I usually drive my rig at 64-65mph, but on occasion, I've had to bump it up to 70 while passing so I don't impede traffic. I get a little nervous taking those ST tires up to 70 for the minute or so that it takes to pass.
And while I'm on the subject, a pet peeve of mine is when I ride behind a slower vehicle for quite a while, and finally make up my mind to pass. It seems that quite often, the said vehicle must not like getting passed by a big truck and FW, and decides to speed up once I'm in the passing lane. Or worse, start pacing my speed so I can't get back over!
