Is that what it needs or is that the max mate?
I use 25mm Conti clinchers and run them at 100 PSI which is based on my weight.

Bloody hell, back in the day i used to attach my Dad's foot pump to my bike and pump the tyre up until it felt about right. PSI was not involved in this process. 
I use 120 PSI and that`s bloody hard.
