I've bought some slime filled inner tubes for my MTB. Together with the Specialized Nimbus Armadillos I should be as puncture resistant as possible. There's no indication on the tubes of what the max pressure is though. I'm currently running Specialized tubes with Schraders at 70psi but they gradually leak back to 40psi or so after a few days which is a bit bab. These slimes are Prestas, so hopefully I can run 70psi without leaks, but I have no idea if the tubes are good for that...???

The tubes are these ones : www.slimesealant.com/product.php?product=ST-f1

No idea on the max pressure but if you can't inflate the tube to the pressure you need, you have the wrong tube! I do not imagine they would fail at 70psi. The type of valve makes no difference to the pressure the tube can hold btw.
