Helpful Expert Reply:

Since you plan on going up to 80 MPH you will want to go with a tire that has a M speed rating like the part # TA57VR which is rated to go up to 81 MPH.

This wheel and tire has a 6 on 5-1/2 inch bolt pattern and has the weight capacity of 2,540 lbs at 65 psi. For a tandem axle application this would give you over 10k in wheel/tire capacity.
