We used carlisle radial trail trailer tires and made sure we got them rated for 81 mph. Not that we tow that fast, but just for the extra safety factor. The goodyear endurance are also a good tire.

Topography and time on the road absolutely matter. Which is why we decided we had enough as is. If we were going farther we would get a motorhome. No vehicle is big enough after a few hours, lol.
