So take your pick. I inflate to 60 and drive 60-65 staying lower in hills instead of letting the tow/haul/cruise control rev the engine to 4K.

So should I drive my car (22 lbs tires) at 22 mph?
The max tire inflation listed on the sidewall is the very max you should use... IF you are loaded to less than that then you can have less pressure in the tires for better mileage and wear... The company "A Weight We Go" used to weigh rigs and suggest proper tire pressures...
All ST tires are rated for a max speed of 60 mph... anything more is playing with your life and those around you....
