Must have been something wrong with your tires, or installation. I have frequently over inflated tires, going as high as 115# on old 27" non hooked rims, with tires rated for 90PSI... Right now, my Crosstrail with Schwalbes, is over inflated by 10-15 pounds, and my Sirrus with All Conditions, the same. I just aired up my Grandaughters 10# over the recommended 90 on her Kendas, and my Grandsons Kendas 15# over the recommended 65 --- just today!
When it comes to pressure testing, most manufacturers go at least 50% over maximum recommended pressure... tht's just common practice!
