You don't need to rebuild your TPMS, car is too new. The ride on the V12s are good, more quiet than stock, but I am not a fan of its grip/feel.

I wasn't sure if it was something you have to do everytime you change tires...much appreciated

Mine will be on right about he same time I hit 1200 miles and open her up.

You forgot Michelin PS2.

On the tail end of the stockers now, but none of the miles were mine so I don't have a good impression. All I know is trying to launch the car is fun but not very productive, as is trying to hit WOT before 2nd gear. And that's in the dry.

Currently waffling on a resize. My American-Car habits make me want more tire, regardless of what it's actually accomplishing lol. But I don't think I have enough miles left on the tires to save up enough $ for wheels, limiting my resize options.

What's a good all around tire (rains here a lot, so they can't turn into death trap slicks in the wet but I'm not looking to do any rain racing either so it's not a huge deal) in a slightly wider than stock tire size on the stock sport wheels? I think I remember reading about a 265/285 split or something like that?

I don't have sport rims, but am patiently waiting to wear down the Advens so I can put on "Continental Extreme Contact DWS" in 1" wider rubber than stock.

Use tirerack.com and the ratings for UHPAS tires if you're looking for rain and/or cold performance. Summer treads are supposedly no good below about 40 degrees F., though I ran fine in dry weather last winter.

I had them on my recently traded 370 coupe. An excellent tire with a high mileage rating. They were also quieter and didn't pick up sand/rocks as readily as the stock Yokohama's. The 275's fit perfect on the stock 18" rear rims and 245's on the front.
