70 psi would probably be better for straight-sided rims. If you want to use higher pressures, try building up the rim bed with Velox tape that goes from one edge to the other (to keep the bead from shifting downward), make sure the tire is mounted evenly without pinching the tube anywhere, and experiment gradually with the pressures.
