I do not recommend exceeding the maximum pressure listed on the sidewall. Tire blowout/rim failure is a possibility. If you're needing to put that much air in your tire you should get a wider tire and run it at an appropriate pressure.

+1000 95psi in a 35mm tire would be way too much for me but I'm also a lightweight. I run my 35mm tires around 50-60psi. Putting more air in doesn't make you go faster, it just gives you a harsher ride. The only thing you need to worry about at the low end of the pressure range is bottoming out the tire and getting a pinch flat/dented rim. If you're running a really low pressure you'll also be slower on pavement (duh.)
