I'm going to air up my tire to max, as I
think this makes the tire stiffer to side loads.

If you heat it up with a lot of braking, and it's already at "max", it will
then have "more than max", possible to blow a clincher off the rim. See FAQ,
I've never had the problem (since I use @110lbs as a max) but there are reports
otherwise.
