What is your average freeway/highway speed?
Was just curious, what is the Average Highway,/freeway speed Most of you drive, and if that is from a gas or diesel coach?

We're new to RV'ing and purchased a 30' 2007 model R-Vision trailer. It has been wonderful so far but we are also concerned about speed issues.
At about 60 mph the trailer will sway considerably, despite our anti-sway hitch setup. I looked at the tires and they are only rated to 62 mph (ST205/75D-14, tandem axles).
Since our highways here in New Mexico are 75 mph maximum speed limit, would it make sense to upgrade to a tire rated for a faster speed?
Is this even possible? I haven't found anything that also doesn't increase tire radius (which may not be possible for our trailer).
Thanks.
You may need to work on your hitch setup some more. I had a weight distributing hitch setup with my 24' toy hauler, that really needed a 3/4 ton truck to pull. With my half ton after original setup I had some sway. After a few more adjustments on the hitch the sway went away completely, even up to 70mph.
As far as my DP, i run +/- 5mph of speed limit trying to stay with the flow of traffic.
