    70-72 MPH!? You're braver than me...but I live in a state where the towing MPH limit is 55. I'll do about 60-62

    Had the WLakes on mine for over a year & 7K miles no problem, BUT sold 'em for a couple hundred & put Sailuns on. They balanced well & haven't had to add air. I run TPMS also. Heard/read too many stories about tread separation with the WL.

I usually pull in the 70-72 mph range depending on highway condition, and even with my stuff in the rv it will not have the tires at or near their rated load capacity....seems confusing

    My service advisor at the dealer informed me of that when I asked. In addition, I found these details at eTrailer on the tire page.

    I just looked, on my WestLakes on the 2020 Reflection 295RL, they are load E and it says right on the tire 75MPH max speed. I agree with the 60-65 model for towing. We have 80 on interstates here, that is crazy for a trailer IMO.

    I watch our TPMS pretty closely. On warm days the tires get up to 90+degrees when starting out 80psi cold. I think this is a reason for the failures of these tires. I have backed my cold pressure (morning 70 degree day) down to 70psi (tire says max load at 80psi, and we are not even close to max load). This makes a hot day about 80-85psi on the tires when we are rolling down the freeway in the afternoon.
