I didn't catch if those V rated tires were ST. I also noticed that they weren't using sway control.

At the speed he was goin' the pressure of the air aganst the sides works better than any sway control...

He would still have to be in the middle lane on I-75 north of Flint Mi on a Friday after noon. Slow lane goes 85 I've never been brave enough to run even think about lane 4 or 5

O how right you are !!!!!!!!!!!!! Going over the Zilwaukee bridge is a trip on a slow day. Get caught up in the weekend exodus from the Metro area and you're either going to be in the far right lane at 70 or you're going to get run off the road/run over by those impatient souls who find it imperative to flee Detroit for the weekend. I wouldn't dare move past the far right lane LOL

While they don't move at the speeds of this truck/trailer, I-75 moves faster than most (if not all) travel trailers can safely run. It is truly a sight to see motorhomes, travel trailers, fifth wheels, busses, trucks with 4 wheelers on top, truck campers and many others all jockeying for that "select spot" as they roll over the concrete, rounding curves on I-75 on two wheels, exhausts smoking and drivers with gnarled faces, teeth bared with aggression, white knuckling the steering wheels, focused only on getting ahead of the truck in front of them.

The sad part seems to be that on Sunday afternoon, they are in just as much of a hurry to return home...... Who'da thunkit ????

Is the Zilwaukee bridge still open. I haven't been through there in 4-5 years last I heard thay were going to do a major overhaul. I was actually down the street a few blocks the day it dropped what about 25 years or so ago. Should have never built it

The Zilwaukee is still open, alive and doing well. 5 lanes in each direction, about 300' in the air and apparently no enforcement of any speed limits LOL It's "ZOOM ZOOM" up and "ZOOM ZOOM" down.....

My father logged 110mph on the GPS on his 27' boat on the trailer on a routine morning going fishing.

I did haul a horse trailer across Whyoming one morning at 90+ because the crew was sleeping and the truck seemed to want to run. Ford V-10 musta ran for over an hour into the sunrise. 9 horses in the trailer and 2 others sleeping. The woman co pilot woke up and was talking for a bit then said " HOW IN THE >>>> FAST ARE YOU GOING???" I said it's my truck and were making $15 a mile
