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.

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.

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.
