Federal industry wide ratings any tire with a ST rating is rated for a maximum speed rating of 65 MPH at the proper inflation.

Not all are rated at 65mph. Some of the ST tires are speed rated "L" at 75MPH. The Hercules H-901 225/75/15 is Load Range F and Speed Rated L (75MPH)

Giving this a little bump as I will be swapping out my 2 year old Westlakes around Feb 19. Anyone else running these yet?

Tire dealer said the speed rating is about 65 mph on trailer tire and were
running right on edge that could make to much heat on tire.

I recently switched to 10 ply truck tires after having blow outs with 10 ply trailer tires.

The trailer pulls so much better now.

I had to go to 16 inch wheels to use the LT225-75-16 Truck tires.

LT truck tires are the way to go, IMO.

Anyways, my trailer uses 5 lug 4 1/2" bolt pattern.
I was amazed to only find one wheel company that made a 16 inch- 5 lug 4 1/2 inch bolt pattern wheel in steel.

Where did you find the 16 inch wheels with the 5x4.5 bolt pattern?

I have been running these all year. Only have around 5-6K on them but so far so good. They really track better than any other trailer tire I have used.
I run around 90PSI in them, They are on a 28FT ATC with 3500lb car, golf cart, tools etc weighing in around 9800.
