Tire Pressure Sensors
I am thinking of switching to Goodyear GS-D3 tires from the OEM runflats. I am using the stock rims. Can I still keep the tire pressure sensors or do they need to be removed?

You need to know if you're losing air more than you did with runcraps.

They should work just fine. I am running a set of the Goodyear Supercars on mine and am using the stock sensors.

Keep the sensors. Otherwise, your car will keep throwing the following error message (from the '03 Owner's Manual, but yours should read very similar):
SERVICE TIRE MON SYS (Except 206): If this message comes on, a part on the Tire Pressure Monitor (TPM) is not working properly. If you drive your vehicle while any of the four sensors are missing or inoperable, the warning will come on in approximately 10 minutes. If all four sensors are missing, the warning will come on in approximately 15 to 20 minutes. (All the sensors would be missing, for example, if you put different wheels on your vehicle without transferring the sensors.) If the warning comes on and stays on, there may be a problem with the TPM. See your dealer.
