that would be illegal then and no self respecting place would do it for you.
Plus if / when you get stopped and it's showing 60 you'd be hung.

Mines 54, it's a nightmare lol 56 gets passed everyone.
But is fuel saving and get there shortly after. Not a massive difference upping the speed

Get some warn treads, go and calibrate, then swap with new…mmm…years ago we actually used low deck wheels to calibrate, hence why your plate now has wheel sizes 🙄.
If your truck has recently been calibrated (look at the sticker drivers door jamb) and you calibrate again…I think questions might be asked.
All that aside, I just plod away at 90/56. Because if you can’t do the job legal, then you shouldn’t be doing at all.

I think we should go to 50, like in a number of European countries 🤔😆. I lived and worked in the NL and it works, but we should up the weight to 50tn. Construction of most 6x2 have a design weight of 50tn anyway
