The max pressure is exactly as it implied, not the recommended pressure which depend on your tyres size + body weight.
It's best to run the tyres at an ideal pressure that absorb the road vibration well and perform perfectly, having them pumped up to the max actually **increased **the rolling resistant.
edit first post as saying "biggest" seemed to implied it's a very common problem, only experience this once with 23mm tyres on Mavic A319 (25mm wide) after hitting a very big pothole causing a tiny chip on the braking surface (but no puncture).
