The red lug nuts are different, but the wheels and tires sure look good on your car.

What was wrong with the PSS ZP? From what I've heard, they're an amazing handling tire.

Poor compromise between a street/track tire. Harsh ride, noisy, bad in cool/cold conditions...not impressed. I extend seasons as long as possible spring/fall. Nice tire if you like to drift/throttle steer & only drive in warm weather. Throws a lot of grit & is overpriced.
GM sucks for not offering a factory A/S option...feels like a new car with the BFG's...amazing difference.

Ah, I like a sticky sticky tire.

I like the Interlagos. Are you going to try the Panoramas too?

I suppose it's good if you want to neuter the handling of your car. The stock tires have incredible turn in and good lateral grip. If you're implying that the A/S BFG has better grip because you don't have to "throttle steer" you must be high. I have a set of RE71R's on another set of wheels and I would say they have better overall grip but the stock tire is pretty fantastic overall.

I've been hung out in some bad weather with the PS2's and they didn't seem overly ill even in the snow drizzle/sleet I had to drive in. A little short shifting and throttle control seemed to work fine. Let the PTM do its thing.
