Your tire pressure is too high for a tire of that size. You should be under 30. Look at many other posts on here and consider performing a chalk test before you cause uneven wear.

Plan on doing that chalk test tomorrow and the spare is at 35 psi. The spare tire is the stock tire and will changed out when I upgrade the bumpers. Its at 35 psi. Still not sure what would cause the pressure light stay on though. Maybe I am missing something really easy.

Is the light solid or flashing?

Possibly a bad TPMS valve. I had my light start coming on when tire pressure was fine and have turned it off with my superchips. I asked at Discount tire and they said they have something that can check the valves and find out if theres a bad one or a low battery.

Are you sure you got TPMs on all your new tires?
