5% over max. sidewall pressure won't kill a tyre
I've run 3.8 bar (55psi) in a 3.5bar(51psi) rated tyre for a while - couldn't attribute any improvement in FE to it , but the car felt a lot bumpier than at 3.5bar (51psi), so that's what I stuck with.

I was kinda freaked out going over max sidewall pressure because my brother destroyed a tire doing this but he put like 45 psi in a 34psi tire.

That's like 33% over ...
What do you mean by "destroyed" ?
Did it blow (due to pressure, not due to wear), or did it wear down the centerline ?
