I bought some light 16x6.5 rims (smallest size I could find), and looked for tires specifically with pressure in mind. I settled on the Kumho Ecsta ASX's in the stock size because they are rated at 51psig. I keep them at 51, and after about 10K miles they seem fine. I don't worry about getting a flat spot in the middle because I don't slow down for corners

EDIT: 15x6.5, NOT 16x6.5. I should pay attention to my own stupid sig...
