this trailer is rated for 45 mph. have anyone have any issues taking this on highways over 55mph? should i change tires after purchase to go 55+ MPH?

I own this trailer. I travel forest roads to lakes near my residence. If I ever plan to make a long trip on highways I will purchase higher rated tires.

Took my boat from Front Royal, VA to Sutton Lake, Sutton, WV the first part of July and going through WV I experienced no problems with the trailer at highway speeds. Although I rarely exceeded 60MPH the trailer with the supplied tires handled well.

Hi. I own this trailer, and used the 45 mph rated tires for a bit, but stayed 55 or under. I bought the higher rated tires anyway, knowing I would be doing higher speeds. Have since traveled at 75 mph with no problem. I carry the original tires as spares.

HelloWhat I did...I google "trailer tire" and compared the answer with the tire I had at home. I hope this is helpful.

i believe mostly tires and probably safety rating i replaced the tires it comes with (class b or c rated at 50mph) with high speed rated class D's from e-trailer.com decked the trailer with deck boards. i haul loads of material and drive it at interstate speed with no problem. hope this helps alot of accessories to out fit trailer wiring harnesses , bolt on jack,etc can be found there to help you get on the road lots of diy videos. be careful with delivery

I've been riding mine for about a month with the tires at about 90-95psi with no problems. I saw the comments about blow outs and kept it a little lower for safety's sake.

i too have these tires on my 39ft jayco with less than two thousand miles and only 5yrs old, and just this past week suffered a catastophic failure with one tire. everything was checked before setting out and less than 100 miles later i have rv damage. checked with my rv dealer service manager upon my return home and he said he personally has seen a lot of these failures with this tire. i personally will not buy anymore goodyear trailer tires and am going to have the remaining 4 removed and replaced with another brand

Great little trailer. Pull behind my motorcycle with cargo carrier on it. loaded to about 500 lbs. gross. Fine on highway but i don't ride much over 65 on the motorcycle. Tires never got real hot. Hope this helps.

I have only had kayaks on it so there is not much to support. I have had it on the highway at 65 mph with no problems but only have a few hundred miles on it. So far so good.

I am not certain of the maximum rating but I commonly tow my boat trailer, which these are mounted on, at 70-75 MPH. I have never had any problems with them whatsoever.

I would and did get mine heavier than I needed just in case I upgrade to a larger trailer in the future. My weight was 595lbs unloaded and I opted for 1000lb rated bars....works great! Hope that helps

Plans on the weight on the tires. I have taken 2 trips of over an hour pulling the trailer at 65 - 70 mph and have had no problems. My trailer with boat is pretty light about 850 lbs., i stay under 70.

I hauled a 450lb sport bike on it for about 650 miles and didn't have any problems. I'd be real careful hauling something that heavy as some of the parts aren't super heavy duty like the tie down holes. Also make sure your truck can hold that kind of tongue weight, hate to get it loaded on there then hit a bump and rip your hitch off the back of the truck.

I have pulled mine at 70 mph, empty it was a little bumpy but with a 1000 lbs. it pulled good. Pulled it about 200 miles loaded like that and hubs and wheels were fine.

My RV dealer told me any and all trailer tire belts shift at or prior to 4 years old from the manufacture date. My trailer tires were at 4 years and the belt shifting was readily visible, then a tire blew at 55 mph on a level straight four lane highway. The Maxxis has a very good manufacture reputation so it is not a measure of miles (we drove 8000 then blew at four years) but a measure of visible belt shifting on all manufactured RV tires.

To fast for a home built off-road go-kart without suspension. 45 mph is a good estimate.

Not sure of exact speed rating. I have them on a small boat trailer and only travel locally. I wouldn't hesitate using these within normal weight range at highway speeds though.

I have it in a Polaris Ranger Cew 800 and i have drove it up to 40 mph and it holds up. I have to tell you that when driving at high speeds it bubbles inwards creating a sail effect that will creat a lot of resistace on you UTV. I dont recommend for high speeds even though i will hold up. Hope this helps
