just remember that those numbers are for maximum tire pressure. As in never exceed. Normally you wouldn't (and shouldn't) put that much pressure into your tire. Except for some special circumstances like you're autocrossing and want to prevent tires from rolling to its sidewall (not likely anyway with such low profile tire). Remember, as you drive, tires heat up and the air inside expands, increasing pressure. Plus too much pressure causes tires to bulge slightly and cause the center of the tire to wear out sooner than the rest.
