Why push that knowing what they're rated at?? At 77 mph a blown tire on a raised trailer with a short bed 1/2 ton pickup? I made sure I kept my distance behind him. After reading many posts here I'm reconsidering my 65-68 traveling speed. This speed seems to keep in in a good power range. I will try slower on my next 5 hr trip in July.
