A lot of ignorance and misinformation on this thread about tires.

So YES you can inflate a clincher to 145 PSI if the manufacturer says to do so. Chances are you ran through the tire that fast doing skids because a tire running that high psi offers lower resistance and is usually considered a "Race" tire, lightweight which means less rubber to burn through since you're more likely to change your race tires more often than your training tires.
