^Your wheels don't say 50 PSI, the tires do - and that's the MAX psi, not the recommended psi. You should follow the manufacturer's recommendations on the driver side door label.

You shuold really only be running 40+ when you are doing days at the track otherwise your center of the tire will ear out faster
