capri I would quote but its kinda long and then its tedious to do scrolling.

I'm not particularly worried about static burst pressure, I doubt anyone here will ever do that to a tire if they are paying any attention. The fatigue or pressure creep is more dangerous. I'm ok with inflating tires to the max pressure(not under max loading by any stretch of the imagination, either do one or the other not both) because of the safety factor put in place.

Going over that. It might be safe anecdotally, but is it worth it? How many of you have had a tire go away while driving? You get new rotors new axles, new rims new tires new brakes new paint and maybe more. If it happens in a corner above 45 and there are obstacles its likely you'll be in the hospital. When a tire goes you have 0 control after that.

Not worth it to go over max, I use a gauge I know reads high and fill to max sidewall(41) which is really like 38
