I aired them up to the max 110 and they heated up and stayed under 120 psi for the whole trip. No issues. No wobble. I had two VERY tight turns where the trailer tires were just almost pivoting and there was no issue.
I am going to put about 1,000 miles on them in a week or so. Hopefully nothing to report again!!!
So far very pleased...
Wow! You =really= must not like having money by towing that fast. Slow down to 65, or less, and you'll likely pick up 2-4 mpg. Slowing from 65 to 60 (old tires) picked me up almost 2 mpg with my old Komfort.

I just shake my head when some claim their best towing mileage is best at 70.

Yes I saw a SIGNIFICANT difference in mileage on my first trip at 65ish to my second at 70-75.
I think I got 11 mpg driving 65 and 9 mpg driving 70-75.

Slowing down will have the greatest effect on the fuel mileage towing. You probably cannot measure the difference in fuel economy of tire a at 55 vas 75 MPH.
In my opinion, 75 mph is just too fast o be towing a 5th wheel.

After my last experience with Carlisle, in 2012 though, they left a bad taste in my mouth. I am sure the new Carlisle design is much better, but I bought another set of Sailun. I tend to go with what I know works.

Hi Mike - Welcome to the forum.
You replied to a thread that's over a year old, so there's a good chance you won't hear back from the OP.
Feel free to start a new thread with your question if you'd like.
Happy Camping,

Carlisle tires are on every Uhaul trailer we’ve seen. I have Sailun G’s on my Cardinal.
