Question guys,
So yesterday I dropped my tire PSI to 40F 35R (they were on 44F 40R WTF). My tire pressure light on the dash won't go off now. Is that just something you have to put up with?

You can reset the baseline to whatever you want. Forgot what buttons to press but when displaying the tire pressure, probably hold the home (or another button) long until it resets to the current value.

Awesome, I will look into it. Second AMG and had no clue It was something that could be changed.

Soooo I just ordered a set of 255/275 PS4S for my sedan and will be trying to sell the 265/285. The reason for this is, the stock tires setup sidewall in the rear is a 8mm thicker than the front, when you jump to a 255/275 it stays 8mm difference. However when you go up to a 265/285 setup that difference in sidewall thickness drops to 5mm in difference from front to rear. That mixed with the front tire looking slightly bulged on the front wheels makes the front sidewall look too similar to the rear. Maybe I'm picky but after 2 weeks I just decided to go 255/35 and 275/35. I feel like that's probably the sweet spot on the stock wheels, IMO.
I'm stock tune for now so ps4s in 275 should be plenty traction while it's still warm out. I'm in Vancouver so I can't run a toyo r888 when it rains 3/4 of the year. On that note if anyone is in BC and wants to try the 265/285 ps4s that still read 10mm tread depth I'll give you a smokin deal.

I’m already on my second set of 295’s Toyo px4 plus.
these tires are relatively cheaper that Michelin but you won’t care having fun for the price you’re paying for. I must say, they’re very weird and dangerous for the first 1000 miles I’d say; they make the car unstable on higher speeds, turns, and coming to stops but once you take some layer out of it, they become amazing.

if the rear is decent at 285 why not just replace the fronts with 255 and keep the new rears?

The other post I was talking about:

I toyed with the idea of going down to a 30 series front and rear but the sidewall would be a good bit thinner than stock and ps4s doesn't have a 285/30. Here's the 265/35 front:
