I went through this same exercise last year and bought the Goodyear Endurance for a piece of mind. They are WELL within their load limit, I can speed up to 70-75mpg to pass slower vehicles if needed without worrying about my tires
Just curious, why is it necessary to speed up to pass vehicles that are already going slower? :h
Two lane roads, passing zones and oncoming traffic.
If you always drive on the interstates... Not an issue
Even on the interstates, I speed up when passing an 18 wheeler. I do it because 1) I want to clear the big truck as soon as possible. If I'm only doing 5 mph faster relative, then it would take a while to clear the truck. Also, 2) I don't want to clog up the left passing lane any longer than I have to. I'm sure my 65 mph is much slower than most of the traffic in the left lane is going.
