I suspect the tire is stuffed if it was previously thumping, there are some snapped cords inside the casing, especially now after being over inflated. I have a brand new Schwalbe Supermoto X that simply won't seat properly, the casing is distorted, and I will replace it.
The sidewall pressure is 1/2 the amount that will blow the tire off of the rim.
