A cause for tire blowouts?
I was on the I-69 the other day, tooling along at my typical 71/72 mph. I had 2 trucks pass me pulling trailers that were obviously being delivered (DOT markings on the trucks, etc). They just eased...

So the LEO's look the other direction in all the states that they pass through?
Wouldn't commercial haulers that consistently drove that fast would be racking up tickets and have insurance problems?
The whole 65MPH speed restriction to get the inflated capacity rating is the root of the problem. A trailer that weighs 14K to 15K on cheaply made tires that weigh 35 pounds. It just does not compute, we would not accept this with a new car or pickup, so why do we accept with a 60-80K new trailer?
I hear that some manufacturers are now installing the LRG Sailun S637's. I know that are Cardinal club has gotten Cardinal to offer GY G614's as a factor upgrade.
