I worked at the "Corner Gas Station" for many years.
I saw (literally) hundreds of passenger tires inflated at or very near 100psi.
These were older gentlemen who grew up with bias ply tires.
They were adding air to attempt to get rid of the characteristic side wall bulge of radial tires.
I would set the tires to car manufacturer spec, and next oil change they would have the tires right back up to 100.
To the best of my knowledge, none of these tires ever blew out.
Again, these are just my observations.
