Agreed,but without knowing more(rims shacky,8 yrs old tires,etc.) all we can help with is "my tire feels full at 60psi the side wall says 110psi,can it take more?"

If things do get hot out the pressure can also rise enough to blow the tire off.

(I've had this happen on tour,luckly I was having lunch under a near by tree when it let go___BANG)
