I have built and run the Goat wheel setup for over ten years on my M37, and can say without reservation they will be OK at freeway speeds. I have never had a tire failure (separation, blowout), and can not say that for regular 9:00-16's or those Michelin "X" series. I and others have had both of those fail. The secret to the Goat tire working so well is probably the steel belt, BIAS ply build. In all fairness, however, they are not all made round. Some will balance only after shaving and lead. I run mine at 65+ on the road always. The Goat tire will fit an M37/M43 fine with perhaps a little trimming to the splash shield in front of the pedals on the drivers' side. DG
