Towing speed?
I'm wondering what speed most folks shoot for when towing a travel trailer? Highway towing on the flats that is.

ST tires are speed rated 65 mph (most) so 65 it is for me. Towing above 65 (unless tires are rated more than 65) is playing with fire and asking for a blowout, esp. the more you do it and the faster you travel. I use our GPS as a speedometer and run at 64-65 mph and max out at 65.0 mph. Sometimes it's so easy tho. to drift above 65 if not watching speed closely, like when cresting a hill and I brake and if needed, downshift on steeper grades. Even if a person could go faster, 65 seems to be a good max. considering all the potential factors, including a driver's age.
It always surprises me how many figure they can rely on their made in Ch*na brakes to save them some day if in an emergency/panic situation but will gladly condemn Ch*nese tires as being garbage. Some don't even ever check their brakes at all. Factory wiring and splices can be substandard too.
