I thought the trailer tires were only good for 65. Had me worried about giving bad info.
Sort of correct.
ST trailer tires are rated 65mph.
There are other trailer tires. I have seen LT trailer tires, GY614 and R250, discussed today.
My current replacement choice is Kumho 857 185R14. Neither ST or LT as they are EU type trailer tires, Q=99mph rated. I want to replace my STs because I prefer driving 65-75mph without the worry of exceeding the ST 65mph limit.
