Ever wondered
 
How much pressure a KHE premium tire can get to?

220 P.S.I

All in the name of science, of course! :D

That's a whole lot of pressure.

Makes me feel a lot better when I run my tires a bit over rated max. Thanks.

My tyres stay at 120 PSI.

They must be able to hold double what they are rated for on the sidewall.

Too bad those tires are overly expensive and for weight *****es, huh?

Too bad they shred to pieces and become useless rubber in no time, huh?

yah i saw the whole sidewall on my friends khe foldy blow out the other day.
a couple of days old.
not much of a waste of money...

Can anything bad happen running tires a little over their rated PSI (like 5-15) like uneven tread wear or blowouts off a big drop?

I wouldn't worry about it. I run my Intense tires 30 or 40 over their limit without issue.

edit: Coincidentally, the Intense Microknobbies are the best tires I have ever ridden. So goddamn fast. Ron Wilkerson concurs.

I used to run my 65 PSI Primo's on 100. They held

KHE tires are pretty terrible rear tires for the most part. I wouldn't mind a dirt one for the front, though.

Way to run with a race tire. I would get them but some of the tracks I race at have some loose turns. They're useless in loose stuff.
