Definitely something I'll need to look into. I hadn't heard of oil starving on these cars as an issue. For this summer I'm sticking with OEM tires but I'll look for better options over the winter while its in storage.

I had "ice mode" happen to me on the street and ya, I nearly messed myself. For the brakes I'm running upgraded pads plus I'm looking at ventilation options for improved cooling. The ABS is a whole different story and as this is still a street driven car, I'll just deal with it.
