Paul,
    They are OK under about 220 in the original factory condition. Beyond 
that the guys seem to prefer shaving the excess tread to reduce their 
inherent problem of centrifugal force and Long-Course generated heat causing 
the tread to separate from the casing.
    I ran mine to between 180 & 195 for years and never had a problem.
