10 psi above rated max pressure for over 66mph

Anyone ever seen this before?

According to this paper from Goodyear, ST rated tires are marked max pressure for not over 65 mph, if you go over that speed (66-75 psi) you should increase pressure above the max rated pressure by 10 psi.

Thought this was interesting. Imagine the requirements for running overloaded at 85mph on the interstate?

Interesting. Never have seen that info before.

After putting a couple thousand miles on my new trailer tires over the past two months, I think my tire problems are thing of the past. The 225/75-15 2500 lb. rated trailer tires are doing great.
