I am not sure but if I remember it was similar to radial pull. Maybe crappy tires that could not take the speed??? Was not the road or anything like that. That was about 22 years ago...
I sometimes took those farm roads part of the way home from U of I to Chicago area...not at that speed (I just wanted to go 100 one time) but freeway had 55 mph limit so farm roads were as fast or faster and not patrolled...by july I think you can not see over the corn though so it was not a good way to go in later summer or early fall.
