In any plane the weight of a C172, you should exercise caution when
taxiing in winds of 20 knots or more. I routinely used to fly a C172 in
those kinds of winds (or otherwise I wouldn't have got to fly very
often). Proper positioning of the controls is highly recommended. I've
flown lighter taildraggers in stronger winds than that - it's not
something for a novice, but with a modicum of experience and care it can
be done quite safely.
