Plus I don't think there's a trailer tire out there rated over 65mph other than the g614 and trust me,as a previous service advisor at one of the largest camper dealerships on the east coast, I made a ton of money off of those tires exceeding 65mph. When they blow they take out the floor,gas lines,electrical,siding, j-metal, and have even seen them cause the other tires to blow.

I run the Goodyear G114 17.5 inch rated at 75 mph at 4540lbs. There are other tires out there as well that are speed rated above 65. I regularly set cruise at 70. The difference in braking or other handling issues between 65 and/or 70 is not going to make a significant difference.
Running a G614 or even worse, some crappy Chinese tire, at the speed limit but at max weight for the tire is more dangerous than my running down the road at 5 mph under the tire rating and a thousand pounds under its weight rating.
I also leave my propane on for my fridge.....
