Have them love them, softer and lasting much long than several the OEM tires and several brands since. Texas summers are hot hot hot and no problems at all. Until new comes out that is better. I driver hard all the time. They are the best!

Sorry, my drunk uncle wrote the above. Hope you can figure out what he meant to say.

Arrow Conti DWS

Had them on the beast for just under a year (installed sep2012), and they were great in the snow we had. Rain no issues and dry...well they are not Mich. Diamaris but will def. work. Tire wear is not bad for A/S tire, still have over 60% tread left . Mine is mostly HWY driving. GL.

One question. When the tire says max psi 51 on the front and believe the back is the same. How much air can put in or is recommended? Something like 45 psi?

You should start with the recommendation on the drivers door & owners manual from the maker of your vehicle.

The max psi on the tire is a generic warning from the tire mfg to not exceed the pressure listed. The tire mfg has no clue as to what vehicle the tires are going to end up on so can only print what the max is designed into the tire for safety.

Again, start with the vehicle mfg recommendation then adjust to your preferences higher/lower.

Since you have no vehicle info listed in a signature or in the upper right...below is an example from the owners manual for recommended tire pressures for the 3.0 X5:
