I went through this same exercise last year and bought the Goodyear Endurance for a piece of mind. They are WELL within their load limit, I can speed up to 70-75mpg to pass slower vehicles if needed without worrying about my tires

Just curious, why is it necessary to speed up to pass vehicles that are already going slower? :h

My guess is you don't drive I10 or I45 in Texas where they are two lanes. When you have a convoy of 6-10 18 wheelers going ~60mph in the outside lane, and the speed limit is 80, you need to get up to speed to pass them in a timely manner or you will have several raceway drivers waving their finger at you once you finally free up the inside lane.

I use to limit my speed to 65mph regardless. Now I do not have to.
