I think mine says 49 for the fronts and 45 for the rears.

Under 100 mph, it states 36 all around.

Ok, here is a photo of the gas placard; also two gratuitous photos: one of front grill and replaced flat emblem (the guy who sold me the black grill included the flat emblem in the package as a gift; I plan on switching back and forth every now and again), and picture of very thin striping and emblem on the sides of my car; never seen these any where else; they came with the car, I bought CPO this past summer.

not great shots b/c very cloudy day today

Over 30 minutes to walk from your office to the parking lot? LOL...

Anyway, pano roof here... tried 150-155mph 3 times.... no sound like that other than my heart was beating like crazy. LOL.

I never saw that the pressure would be classified by speed. In Germany it only depends on the load and the temp of the tires. The rest is probably just normal as no one would stop to make his car ready for a 100+. You are getting there just too fast!

that noise happend to me too.. but to me, it happens at 140mph, once i go 140 or more, that noise from the video comes on, which sounds like my rear lug nuts and stripping off and rear wheels are gonna pop out on me.. the noise is really really loud, and once i go 139mph, its fine, 140 again, the noise comes back on, have no idea what it might be either, but o well

Yes, i have a pano roof. The noise was not as bad as i got closer to 160. I will have to check my tire pressure because i think they were set around 34#
