Most trailer tires are speed rated at 65 mph. How is increasing the speed limit increasing safty? Trailer tires aren't even rated for the current 70 mph limits.
Studies have shown that a higher speed limit reduces the number of drivers going incredibly fast.
We are 75mph here in Idaho and looking at some 80 areas, Utah and Texas already have 80 areas.
I agree trailer tires need to catch up to modern speed limits, but there is a big difference in doing 55 in a 70 and doing 65 in a 70.
