From my uderstanding with working in a tire shop and mounting tires from 13 inch all the way up to as big as 22 inch wheels I have always used the tire manufacture psi. so if its 51 you should want to go 40 and if its 44 go 35 and if its 35 go 32psi. thats my out look on tire psi I have done it since i started and all tires with that air pressure you should get good wear. I have been running 32 in front and 35 in the rear and seems to me i get good tread wear even across the treads. I'm also running a new thing we used called Nitrogen in my tires and that makes a big diffrence as far as the pressue raising when the tires heat up, it can inflate to about 5 psi over and regular air can inflate to as much as 10 psi over. so you might want to also conside the expansion in air pressure when the tire heats up I never recommend going the max psi unless carrying a load or something. so thats my oppinion about tire pressure
