I use 27x8.5 14 tires.  Speedo is dead on if not a little low.  At indicated
speed limit I usually pass other cars.

You can do it, even though you're probably going closer to 70 (have you
checked your speedo?).  It depends how long you want your motor to last.

Please, tell me oh all-knowing list.  Is it that unusual for a Vanagon
Westfalia to cruise at 75 MPH?  I do it all the time in my '85.  Stock
motor.. am I wrong?  Some folks seem bewildered by this apparently insane
speed.
