I WAS GUILTY! I used to drive faster than I should have in my early years of towing. Sometimes I drove 70-75 MPH and even faster when passing. But one day I had a tire blowout and I learned a very valuable lesson. It's not fun towing at 75 MPH with a blowout and trying to stop. Now add other cars, trucks and semis on the road, gravel and debris on the shoulder and the safety of your family riding inside the tow vehicle to that equation. Did you ever try to change a tire on the highway?... Fun stuff!
Just got back from a trip out west going 60-65 MPH with no problems. On the way home I had other TT's and 5'ers passing me doing 75+ MPH. Seen 3 of them later on the shoulder with blowouts. Slow down! It's not worth it.
