We hit 70-75 mph on our way to FL every year and hardly feel it, it's actually legal on a few interstates. I have noticed that we register about 4k at about 70 mph on a straightaway - we have an automatic transmission. We recently put Michelin tires on that are 205s, up from 195s maybe that makes a difference as I don't remember the RPMs being that high before. Any thoughts on this?
