There is lots of good information about tires and towing on this website. I'm not sure how much you have access to as a trail member, but I recommend joining and doing some research.
Best wishes with your new TM, and happy camping!

I would agree. There has been numerous stories here about tire blowouts destroying the TM plumbing, side walls, etc. As a camper, the tires sit in place for weeks at a time and the loads are stressful on the rubber compounds. The heat generated at excessive speeds will cause the tires to blow at some point. Save your money and possibly your life by slowing down to normal tow speed.
