Crummy fuel economy
I towed a tag trailer 450 km down the highway at 55-60 mph and got 37 liters/100 km. (6.4 mpg). Can you get a Dodge or GM to go through that much fuel?

There is a LITTLE more to it than load capacity.
Speed and load are rated independantly for a reason.
There can be SOME corellation, but most likely not of the magnitude that ford subjected the tires to.
A tire rated for 20 MPH is simply NOT LEGAL for use on the road for a very good reason.
ford was very lucky. He seems to realize this now. Suggesting that this is an OK thing to do could risk lives, when someone else does it, and isn't lucky.
Our country is so cold right now you don't even need air in a tyre....it's frozen round...
