Higher than 90psi? I think so.

Higher pressure is faster until a sharp cut-off. What pressure that happens at depends on the surface, volume and load, innit.

zipp AFAIK are the only brand to actually publish pressures tested well.

Oh...

Perhaps I was thinking of wide tyres?

Where's @edscoble when you need him to fight your corner?

Forgetting the tyre physics for a second, faster over a given distance might involve ability to endure crushing blows to your undercarriage or actually grip corners you need to navigate without having to wash off speed so as usual there's always more to it than lab roller tests.
