Misc mechanics, accidentally over filled my tyres 20psi over recommended. What do?

Was filling up my tyres today, forgot to switch units from bars to psi on the pump, and ended up filling them up to 3.6 bars or 52 psi, roughly 15 psi great than the upper limit for these types of tyres

Realized my mistake immediately and dropped the pressure before I had a chance to drive, but just worried one might have deformed and will risk popping when I'm on the highway or something

Guarantee theyre fine

15 psi over the recommended limit is not a big deal by any means

Things are made to withstand more than what they say on paper.

You didn't drive or heat them up and immediately fixed it, no worries!

They're fine brah. At tire shops when looking for a leak to patch I've seen them air them up to 65psi and put them underwater to find the leak. Won't hurt them long term
