90-100psi is actually around the max rating for a lot of tires, and those ratings are usually made with a margin of error.

While it’s definitely not good, I don’t think it’s necessarily the dire threat you’re portraying.

It also massively reduces contact with the road.

My car lists it as a possible pressure for racing, Only suggested if planned use is over 100 mph all the time.

Aside from being massive explosive risk on rupture that would badly damage your car body, it also reduces traction for braking and acceleration. Not a good idea for regular driving unless you are an actual professional.

  Even if you are a professional driver, "regular driving" and track driving need to be compartmentalized

Not sure which type you might be talking about, but all the tires I’ve ever seen for passenger cars have 50psi for their max

  I’d be fucking nervous approaching 40.

    I pump my bike up to 60, they are rated for up to 65 so I go a little under

  My old work van ran 80 psi tires. They looked very much like passenger car tires but I assume they were different. I was surprised when I first looked it up.

If it blows itself off the car during travel because you hit a pothole the wrong way, it is definitely a dire risk to life and limb. It’s less about the impact of the tire itself at that point and more about the fact that you’re basically guaranteed to suddenly swerve off the road.

On my 3/4 ton work truck, my tires max at 80psi and I fill them to 60psi. BFG A/TS.

  Different tires have different specs. For instance my spare is supposed to be inflated to 90psi.

  Is that on the door or side of tire?

    Tires will have max pressure rating.
    Door will have recommended pressures for the vehicle.

    80 on the tire side wall, 60 on the door
