Max reverse sure, but if the runway length permits landing with Autobrake med in good braking conditions, then it won't help much to select Autobrake max with poor braking action (provided braking conditions are constant over the whole runway). Autobrake will give you a certain deceleration rate, if the wheels lack the traction to support that rate, nothing but more reverse or more runway will help.
