This really shouldn't be a problem, since the "max pressure" is a cold pressure. The tire manufacturer knows that the tire will heat up under use. Yokohama, for instance, lists 35 psi as a max pressure on their touring tires, and that's the placard pressure on my Windstar. So, basically, if I'd bought those tires, I'd be running at max pressure all the time.
Granted, they get hotter on course than on the street, but I've run up to 51 psi (max cold pressure) on my crappy old P6000s trying to keep them off the sidewalls. (to no avail.) Time for Falkens.

I ran Falkens at 45 all the time on course, and never adjusted that down except at truly gritty sites.
