80psi for a 47mm tire? are you crazy?
Here is the schwalbe inflation chart:

50psi for 47mm should be okay.
those Sava tires probably have lower recommended pressures, because they're designed for off road use.
The specific mode of failure for overinflation is that the rim will split open, explosively, especially with wider tires on narrow rims. A tire will almost never fail first.
