I've found that running the factory pressure (posted inside the door) ALWAYS gives me uneven shoulder wear (underinflated)
I go 4-8psi over recommended pressure in all my cars
and typically get good even wear
but I'm surprised they'd go to 50lbs for you (I believe that's above the MAX pressure for the tires)
