So, apparently things are changing in the ST world. I just looked up the Maxxis M8008 ST Radial Trailer Tire - 235/80R16, and its speed rating is "R", which is indeed 106mph. I don't know what technological marvels changed the fairly standard 65mph speed rating from yesteryear. But I guess it's a good thing. I'll probably still drive 65, maybe up to 70 if passing, because that's where I feel comfortable.
I looked and couldn't find a speed rating for the maxxis. links to tire dealers all show Q for the speed rating (65) any chance you could post a link??
Yea, I found it at http://www.amazon.com/b/ref=amb_link_447283002_2?ie=UTF8&node=11261610011&ref=b2b_reg_ilm_2ds1&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=detail-ilm&pf_rd_r=1HYTYM0NT9AJAVA97ZKT&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_p=2407063002&pf_rd_i=B004QL6HYM.
Now, that's the only size I looked up because its what's on my FW, and I suppose it's possible that different sized tires have different ratings.
