I bet they are towed at higher than speed limit. They get paid for trailer delivered.
Couple of summers ago we ended up following a delivery guy somewhere in northeast CA towing a TT on a secondary road with lots of twists and turns. I never exceed 65 mph and he'd pull away on straight stretches and I'd catch him in the curves. They don't use a WDH to avoid damaging/marring an A-frame so he had to slow down in curves.) He was probably doing 75+ mph.
So when you buy a brand new TT (or FW), your tires are pre-used and pre-abused and for those on the west coast will be over 2,000 miles worth. I doubt they slow down for potholes and speed bumps. It's like the industry's dirty little secret...
Have seen 2 short TTs arrive at a dealer carried on a flatdeck.
