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.
