You need to lower your tire pressures.
Your tires shoudl be between 32-35 psi. No more than that.
Just because the tire is rated to 51psi does not indicate that the tire shodul be inflated near that. It is more dependant on the vehicle weight distribution. But inflating your tires to 40ish psi you are decreasing the contact patch that your tire makes on the road and therefor decreasing the grip your tires have ont he road.

Just a friendly reminder :P
