Those old 15 inch tires will not take the 60-65 MPH . We use to call them SURE POP's . Now if you keep them down to around 40-45 MPH and do not use them for long trips they are fine. Now fast forward to todays lowboys , RGN's and step decks . They now run 22 inch LOW PRO tires and can usually stand up to long high speed hauling . Way back in the day of those tires heavy hauling was somewhat a slow deal as we were limited to lower powered trucks and SLOW speeds , they still got warm but not really hot .Hauled many old crawler cranes and bigger dozers back then and at the time the biggest dozer was a TD 30 I H and it weighed more then a D9G . These were hauled on a 50 ton Rodgers T 1 lowboy tandem axle pulled by a 1957 B 61 Mack with a 711 with a turbo and a 5 and 4 transmission . and you thought you were flyen when ya got her up to 55 on the flats but on the hills it was lucky to see 15 MPH . The faster ya drive the hotter they get. You can try adding ten pounds more air to them as it may help and if it don't it makes for a bigger bang when they blow.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
