Ronrover.... 50 is too high, 45 is still too high. I would say you should be running around 34-36 psi in those puppies. Man you are running WAY WAY too much air in those things! You will wear them out down the center quickly with even 45 psi.

I'd see if a local tire shop will price match Tirerack, so you don't have to deal with shipping. I've used Discount Tire (the closest one to you is in Indiana), but am sure another large retailer might be willing to match prices and install the tires. If you have a good relationship with a local parts dealer, sometimes they can hook you up with a friend at a local independent garage that won't charge you $20+ a tire for unmounting, mount, balance and installation. No reason to pay $80+ for a 45 minute job.

34-36 psi, you'll get full contact on those bad boys and the car will loosen up. It is no sportscar ride and you will get some roll.. but we will not read about you in the news for blowing up your tires on the road.
