I've got Pro2Races on my audaxesque bike, which have the same pressure guidelines as pictured above. If the weather's fine, and I know the road surfaces are good, I use 80f/85r; generally use 75f/80r; have gone as low as 70f/75r in the shittiest conditions.
They're comfortable, haven't pnctrd, and roll fast enough for a fucking heavy 25mm thing (it's the 25mm that's most like a touring tyre, in my experience).
With wishing to cause offence, most of you lot espousing the 'pump them up to max' rhetoric are fucking clueless, and I'm glad you're getting an uncomfortable and poorly handling ride. It's no wonder you're fucking crashing all the time.
