Don't worry about this! I saw a demonstration were a tire was hooked up to an aircompressor with a large digital readout of the PSI. This was in front of thousands of people at the Cobleskill Sunshine Fair. The compressor ran 30...40...50...60...70 psi. When it approached 100 women started screaming and when it passed that they fainted and strong men quailed. 110....120...130...140...150! Utter shock from the audience as the PSI passed 200... 210...220...230...240...250...

Then at 300.......


KABOOM!!!


So based on that I wouldn't be worried at almost anything you put in the tires.

But at high pressures it might make for rough riding and damage something!
