G rated tire speeds

Sailuns.....75mph

I found it easily, many many sites with this info. it just seems a little odd being so low at 56 mph. All industry standard load and speed ratings charts have G rated tires at 56 mph maximum for their rated load and pressure. Seems a tad low to me.

You're confusing the speed rating and the load rating.
Goodyear 614s which have a load rating of G have a speed rating of R which is up to 106 mph.

The Goodyear Tire Care Guide lists the G614 as having a speed rating of 75 mph.

+1

75 mph is great. My truck likes 66 mph for best fuel economy. But I like the fact I can do 70 mph to get around someone without worrying I'm going to bust a China bomb.

actually the R just means Radial ... the 614 is speed range L (75mph)
