Both the new Goodyear Endurance and the new Carisle HD series ST tires are listed as having 80 MPH ratings at standard pressures.
Not sure that's entirely correct - in an ST205/75 R14 size the Goodyear Endurance is available in just LR D but the Carlisle HD in that same size is available in both LR C and LR D.
FWIW, my own set of Goodyear Endurance ST205/75 R14 tires do say on the sidewall "For maximum load inflate to 65 p.s.i." ... I did and I have to say the trailer tows FAR better than it ever did with the previous off shore, soft sidewall LR C tires that were supplied with the trailer. I tow at the posted highway limit which here in Ontario tops out at 100 kph so I'd rarely see any more than 110 kph. These tires are mounted on the original mag wheels, are cold inflated to 65 p.s.i. and I have no plans to run them any lower. The ride is anything but harsh as some keyboard pundits are theorizing without the benefit of having actually run these tires themselves. :R
