Why so low?
This is a bike, not a car.
A 2" wide mtn tire normally has a max pressure rating of ~65PSI.
Check the sidewall for the max pressure of the tire, and just don't exceed it.
If you want to improve road speed, get a slick, semi-slick, or a mtn tire with a continuous center rib.
Examples of the latter are Performance Versatrac, or Nashbar Elevator.
