We are running at appx. 70 lbs. pressure and have gone appx. 250 miles each way over a 4 day weekend at 70 mph. I suppose we are tempting the devil with this recipe.
Tom, I think you missed my point, so perhaps others did too.

An ST tire, Load Range C, is rated for inflation to 50 psi MAX. Inflating to 70 psi is way too much.
In addition, ST tires are rated for 65 mph MAX. Routine running at 70 mph is too fast.

Both of these are printed on the sidewall of the tire.
