I have no knowledge of what exceeding max speed would actually do, but probably is not good, over the long term.

Just picking at you a little! I am sure you never go over 60 mph! lol lol
Well, we roll pretty slow actually..62 max. Most times under 60. Best fuel mileage at 60, sweet spot for RPM on our truck. I do monitor press with PP and shoot the tires, hubs etc on stops with a temp gun. GY rated to 75MPH. I run em at 125psi cold.
