Since ST tires are speed limited at 65 MPH , the first time you go 66 MPH you have voided the warranty , risking the safety of yourself , your passengers and the rest of the traveling public . So if you ever go over 65 MPH on ST tires , you should pull over at once , and purchase new tires at once .
Carlisles Radial RH is an exception to that. It is limited to the maximum allowable speed.

"Most ST trailer tires have a maximum speed rating of 65 mph." (thats from your link)
"2. The Warranty is void if the tire or wheel fails due to damage from improper inflation pressures, exceeding the maximum speed limit, or overloading the tire beyond the maximum load capacity stated on the sidewall." (thats from the tire warranty which is what the original post was addressing) clicky
I called carlisle about it a couple years ago when I got mine and they said the same thing as what I just posted. Most are rated at 65, but our warranty is valid up to the maximum rated speed limt, but we recommend to never tow over 60. I asked why the maximum posted speed and the comment was because of the radial rh's construction they dont build up excessive heat like the older bias ply tires will, and heat is the problem.
