If the tyre is rated for it then it's probably ok.

Dpends what tyres you've got, but that's what I run in mine and they're
fine. Not as soft a ride as 90-100psi, but a lot faster.Cheers

"Vittoria", and although I don't know them exactly I had a look on the net,
and decided I'd be happy enough with 120 in them. They're within the spec
range of 120psi max...Though if you were really heavy it might be an issue,
but I'm 85kg and I wouldn't worry.Cheers

Look on the side wall of the tire, it'll tell you what the max pressure
you can run it at is.

Only faster on smooth roads. On a rougher surface, they'll bounce around
more & make riding more uncomfortable.Justin Vincent

LOL...seriously though, I commute on a lovely smooth concrete/hotmix
cycleway, and it is definately faster with the extra 20psi. That being said
I take the point that less pressure may be more appropriat on poorer quality
surfaces...Oh, and the colour? I have black tyres now, and they seem faster than the
yellow ones I used to have! Maybe jut my imagination, ut it does seem to
make a differenceCheers

I run tyres at 120 to 130, no problems. Remember the manufacturers build a safety margin into their recommendations. Some of the guys I ride with put as much pressure into the tyre as they are physically capable of pumping and not one of them has had a problem.
