How high can I over inflate my tires? (lemmy.ml)

I frequently do large grocery trips with my bike and the rear tire always looks smushed even at 80 psi (26×1.95). I was thinking of over inflating another 5-10 psi but not sure if this is going go lead to other problems.

I have inadvertently been overinflating my tires by 20 PSI because I couldn't read the sidewall with no apparent ill effects for 2000 km of riding.
