It's illegal to drive slower than traffic in the left lane in FL.

It is about everywhere but that isn't why he was pulled over, he was in right lane and didn't get into the left lane because of the police cars ahead

Don't move over, breaking a traffic law.

Funny you mention that...had new skins put on in spring...I never skimp on tires..but I don't really know what they are rated for..(I guess I should...) cause it often sees sustained speeds of 85 plus..for extended periods...

Most are around 75 mph.

You are a very, very, lucky person!!!

The best trailer tires I could find was Goodyear Endurance, speed rated "N" to 87 mph, they have been great on my 20' trailer. Many other trailer tires are MAX 65 mph. I would be hesitant to exceed 60-65 mph with my trailer, emergency stopping 12,000 lbs. would be a scare. The fuel mileage, for me, is 12 mpg, but at 85 mph, you were really burning "ALOTTA" gas. I doubt, I could do that trip, I'm tired just thinking about it...
