I've found that my max saddle comfortable height in the summer tends to be 109% of my inseam. But that is for when measuring to the top of the pedal at the bottom of the stroke. Still it's going to depend on whether your not your foot is level, pointed up or pointed down when at the bottom of the stroke. My foot is pretty much level.

Saddle height is one of the things that needs to be very close to correct before you can do most any other assessment of how you fit on a road bike.
This seems unlikely given 2.5" and how low the saddle is already for someone 5'10".
