Max pressure may not be the best idea
two types of puncture - pinch flat which generally occurs when tyre is too soft
foreign object penetration which tend to happen if the tyre is overinflated as it cannot deform around the sharp item
hence the need to find a healthy balance
I have found here comes a point in a tyres life when it has too many lacerations which pick up Flint and glass. When I get too many punctures in a week I know it's time to replace it.
