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!
....The 'kaboom point' would likely be at a reduced PSI point rolling on an axle in a real world example...still quite impressive though !
