Why ST tires?
Hey All, Total noob, trying to soak all this RV stuff in all at once. The Maxxis ST tires on my recently purchased 2001 TT "look" like new, but I don't know how old they actually are, so don't kno...

I sure hope you aren't serious. Because if you really think you are helping "save lives", you couldn't be more wrong.

Didn't respond to this earlier. It was meant tongue in cheek. Would not do it intentionally, but there's times when you can't avoid going slower like on the many winding, up and down two lane highways with a double yellow line in this part of the world. Can go on for many miles and sometimes without a place to pull over. But I am not going to drive at 70 mph just to try and avoid drivers getting angry behind us. It's pretty tough to go more than 60 anyway sometimes while pulling a long travel trailer. Does anyone expect semi trucks with big trailers to run faster or pull over? Just because you happen to be an RV sometimes makes drivers automatically think you are holding everyone up. If we're on the insterstate, I'll be driving at 60, the posted max. for trucks, even if holding up trucks or anyone else. They can pass anytime they want. Bottom line is to protect our own safety and RV first.
Any ST tire can be run at 66 - 75 mph simply by increasing tire pressure? What does that do for tire failure and warranty? I could run our unknown quality Chinese Freestar tires at higher pressure in order to drive faster? Already concerned about them at max. 60 mph.
I looked at the Freestar tires on our trailer again today. They are labelled load range C but have 5 plies. I thought load range C means 6 plies?
