West - I am hesitant to comment again on this topic, but after talking to some tire folks I felt it important, if for no other reason than your safety. I was told in no uncertain terms that inflating a tire to significantly above the tire manufacturer's rated maximum pressure can be very dangerous, in part because you've exceeded the design loads for the cord and fabric plies (and perhaps the rim itself) and ultimately cord or ply separation may occur with potentially catastrophic consequences. Of course do as you wish but I'd feel better about this if you discuss this with a technical rep of the tire manufacturer.
