Best Tire & Tire Pressure Combination for Dry Grip?

What tire/tire pressure combo have you had the best results with for grip in dry driving conditions? I am currently on oem Michelin PS3s with manufacturer suggested pressure.

W212 - E63 AMG
When I feel like driving around country roads like my life depends on it, I go 32psi front and 28/29psi rear. Maybe slightly overkill but almost impossible to crash the car doing obscene stuff. Also makes for a good launch in ESP Sport mode.

That being said, my usual set up is 40psi rear and 36psi front and it's still just as impossible to crash on country road driving, but it just won't grip off the line for a solid launch.

Thanks I'll try out the lower pressure settings on my next mountain route.
