Some patches are barely adequate for 35 psi, so it depends on what patch is being used and how high you are going. I would watch it very carefully for a bulge. Put it on your schedule to check every month or so. Rub the spot with a GLOVED hand and feel for a bulge. If you detect a bulge, change out the tire immediately - like the same day!

If the patched tire is leaking, that's not a good indication.
