Default TIRE FAILURE?

Agghhh!! I ACCIDENTALLYrode two-up (300lbs total) for about 4-5 miles with my tires set at 32frt/34rear (foraggresive one-upriding). Will the excessive heat/pressure I caused damage to the tires' carcass and make them unsafe? Also any reccomendations on pressures forhard street riding... Thanks

Won't hurt for 4-5 miles. I run my tires between 35 and 40 all the time.

Ah, bike tech paranoia, Best you have lost some sleep worrying about it as well, tyre walls are pretty flexable, friction = heat. Tyres a designed to wear to maintain their adhesion. A lot of guys I ride with always run their tyres a few pounds under wots recommended. They believe (and who am I to disagree) that the extra contact on the road, lets the tyre reach its optimal heat range faster. I had to ride with a really flat rear tyre for more miles than you have, and once it was repaired it was fine, no damage to the side walls. I would have been more worried about bottoming out the rear shocks.
