Title: tire pressure question
Post by: bmxelement90 on September 25, 2018, 08:11:10 PM

I have some Fit TA tires I want to experiment with, but they are only rated to 65 psi max....can i inflate them to 100psi without it exploding? has anyone tried such a thing?

I have not used this tire but I heard that typically tire do not explode until around 1.5 time the rated pressure.Of course this is not a guarantee. I would try to ride them around 85 psi for a while and then go higher.

yeah you should be able to hit 100...maybe get to 90 first, ride it a couple days then hit 100
I used to ride 140 on my 100 psi rated comets
