they're rated for 50 psig from the manufacturer as cast on the sidewall
edit: according to Tirerack they're rated for 44 psig in the 245/30-18 size, depending on the particular size they are rated at 44, 50, and 51 psig pressures

Have been looking at new tires for several months and finally decided to try the General Exclaim UHP in 245/40R18 size. These are rated excellent at Tirerack and are only $111 each. Ride, wear and noise were better than the Kumho's and just one point lower on the handling. They are definitely quieter than the OE Bridgestones and ride way better as well. Plus I like the agressive look and the price was hard to beat. These are based on a Continental design at a lower cost, as General is owned by them. Let me know what you think.

They were so tight, I broke my socket extension getting them loose.

I am getting new tires to replace my stock dunlop sport 8090's. They only have 15,000 miles on them. The tread is low, but I just also got a huge punchure from a foreign object. I am getting the Bridgestone Potenza SO-3 Pole Positions.
My question is, how much of a downgrade is this, or is it? I do have an AT, and I never turn of DSC, but I make turns like I'm autoxing. I constantly push the car around curves. I broke loose for the first time the other day. I blame the tread wear. Thank goodness for DSC. I got control back real soon.
