Damnit, anything a guy can do? I need 15psi in my rear tires and the stupid tpms won't let me disable active handling.

Could you get another couple TPMS sensors, program them to your vehicle as the rears, and leave them in the vehicle in a small pressurized PVC tube with a schrader valve that will let you pressurize them to around 32 psi? Then you can set your actual rear tire pressure to whatever and the car will never know.

I will try but I've heard that doesn't work cause the sensors need to sense movement like they would on a tire rotating. I think there is an LG box but not sure how that works, I'll give them a call

I'll admit I have never tried it myself on a C6... but here is one anecdotal data point. When I arrived to work one day, unbeknownst to me I rolled over a nail just as I pulled into the parking spot. When I left work about 9 hours later, I turned my car on and it immediately warned me that I had a tire with low pressure (14 psi) before the wheels had moved at all. Perhaps it was the slowly dropping pressure which kept the sensor alive and reporting... but I really don't know.
