What is your average freeway/highway speed?

Yeah and especially since the tires are only rated for 75.

Unless you’re talking about some unusual offshore stuff that comment isn’t quite accurate.

Almost all 22.5 and 24.5 Tire’s are rated for 75 mp/h OPERATION (at proper inflation of course) that’s NOT to say that’s the maximum speed they’re rated for.

Even if that was the maximum rated speed though, there’s still a healthy safety margin built in. If they’re ‘rated’ for 75 they don’t hand grenade at 77.

Well, I thought it said 75max, right on the sidewall and know that I've seen it somewhere, but you're right and it's most certainly not engineered to explode at 77. Fact is, they have been known to explode at any speed and less speed is always better, for if and when it happens.
Still baffles me with the speed thing and the feeling that it's just as safe for driving a motel suite, as it is a car. I mean, if a motor-coach is safe at 75, then a Ferrari should be safe at a 100, but for some odd reason, it's the same as the rest.
Speaking of being the same, it's all about the money, like everything else, otherwise trucks would be limited to 60, like the old days and RV's would have to follow suit.
For us, RVing is supposed to fun and non stressful, with getting there when you get there, otherwise, we catch a plane. Having said that, we can still do 50mph, travel cheaper and outrun a car for days on end, with no motels, restaurants or bathroom stops, along with overnight boon-docking.
As an added note, we've been passed by the same Coach, 3 times in the same day and many times twice. Now how is it, that they are going to arrive at their destination, any sooner?
