Yup and they perform well at that speed!

This is a reason I wish I already had 16" wheels. I know people on this forum squawk about anybody going over 65. I didn't realize my ST tires had a max speed of 65 and I've had them upwards of 70-75. Our freeway speed here in Utah is 80 in the rural parts of the state and many of those roads are flat and straight for 10+ miles.

I've got to retrain my brain to be ok at 65 and ok with slowing traffic as people try to get around me.

Your wallet will certainly thank you. I'd bet Cummins would get his average MPG up from 6.3 to more like 9-10 if he'd slow down a bit. I pick up about 1.5-2.0 MPG slowing from 65 to 60. YMMV...obviously. ;)

I was bucking at least a 40mph headwind. I wanted to get to my destination where it was a lot warmer so MPG was not part of my concerns!
