LOOK IT UP!!!! You are correct. I am not a Tire expert. BUT, I CAN READ and I get this info from the various Trailer Tire makers info. I advise my customers this fact all the time. I have yet to have a customer come back and tell me I am wrong. I believe there may be a tire rated at 70 mph, but it was VERY expensive. Here is another Tidbit. The Tires on a 2018/19 Tiffin 45 foot Allegro Bus are rated(Michelins) at only 75 mph. Hence Tiffin governs the Drivetrain at about 77 mph max. Doug
I don't tow over 65mph, usually around 62, but the Westlake tires on our 2019 GD TT are marked 75mph max. I know there is a lot of bad things said about Westlakes and I am not suggesting you should tow @ 75mph with any tire. Just stating what is on the tires.
