I have high speed tires on my truck and trl. In Texas, the speed limit is 80 and thats for the slow lane. I tow up to 90 and feel quite safe. Going south on 35 or 45, if you don't go 70-75 u gonna get run over. I see them all the time doing 55 in a 75-80 speed limit interstate, and they do cause problems.
Having only traveled in California I only know a 55 mph speed limit for towing. I always assumed it was based on safety. Is that the case? Is it not the case? Does texas have a max towing speed limit? If so what is it?
I've also seen reference in this thread to not using the interstate. Here that means surface streets and you aren't going anywhere but across town on those, not some trip. So what do posters mean by avoiding the interstate?
