yep way to fast for comfort

I`m a firm believer of if you always run ANYTHING at it`s maximum capacity it will fail prematurely over running it at 80 %. Even my generator states to run continuously no more than 80% for maximum life of the unit. My Sailins are rated aT 70 MPH so I run 65 max. Besides far better fuel mileage with 410`s at 65 over 70 and the savings in time for a 500 mile trip to Myrtle Beach is ( based on a speed-time calculator) you will get there 33 minutes sooner. Not worth the white knuckles in today's traffic on I95 or the fuel burn difference or potential over heating the tires on a hot hot day for 33 minutes. Just my opinion of course your fuel mileage my vary.
