Keeping RFTs at 51 PSI?

Hey guys, my tires were at 33 PSI tonight and I filled them up to 51 PSI. Is there a recommended air level for factory 18" runflat tires?

thanks,
stephen

oh god 51 psi? You need to lower the psi ASAP. The recommended psi is on the driver side door jam on the sticker. 38 rear 33 front is what mine says.

Wow 51PSI. Like BimmerZealot said, lower the pressure ASAP. I know run-flats aren't suppose to "blow", but at 51PSI, they might literally blow-up into pieces after you start driving for a while and they heat up and increase the pressure even more.
