Question tire pressures

ok so if i overinflate my rear tires a bit on my fwd eclipse wouldnt it reduce my contact patch a bit and help break the rear end loose? also if i do overinflate, how much can i over doit, i know i can pump my bmx tires to 90-110 psi if i wanted, but what about my car tires?

Re: tire pressures

heavily overinflating tires is a good way to kill yourself, good thing decent valve stems won't let you put that much air in to explode the tires.
