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

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.
