My thinking is that he's simply too heavy for the tires. I'm thinking 135-145 pounds are about what those tires can support. There are no professional racers pushing 200 pounds.
Also, I think it is dangerous to ride 22mm tires on a carbon fork. You're pushing the pressure limits and doing so on a fork that probably won't support a flat at speed.
