Sidewall max. , max. rated load, and max. rated speed is what the tyres are tested for - going beyond that, you're venturing into the safety margin that's been built into the tyres.
Unless you buy some Chinese junk tyres that won't even pass the tests at the rated maximums.
Underinflation is a bigger risk.
