I think the problem is that the number on the sidewall is the MAX tire pressure, NOT the recommended pressure.
So, when you see (max pressure 51 psi) that doesn't mean fill it to there, it means don't fill it to 60 or 55.
tires work best in certain temperature ranges. Under inflation AND over inflation can over heat a tire.
