If what you are asking is, Will the tyres pop? Then the answer is no.

Cant be bothered going through the maths on that one but, they have an optimum pressure on the side of the tyres of say 65psi - This is not the maximum that it can be inflated to. They are designed to take extra pressure in the form of shock when the tyre is in use. If this was really an issue then car tyres would have the same problem when driving up large mountains etc.

I wouldn't be to concerned
