Trailer Tire in Size 215/75-17.5 with Higher Speed Rating

Question:

Are there any Trailer tires out there that have a sufficient speed rating for highway speeds we now have? Westlake tires have a rating of 75 and they have a failure rate high enough that insurance companies are considering seeking a class action against them. I would feel safer having a tire that had the laod rating needed along with a higher speed rating.
