Short answer - HELL NO!

That is WAY too much pressure for an AX, but as others have pointed out, you will need to experiment. I run as low as 22/24 lbs up to 26/28 on my Toyo R888's. Keep dropping 2 lbs until you get too much tire roll. Get a Harbor Freight Air tank so you can put more air in if you go too low :-)
