Default Changing Tires

I'm going to get some Bridgestone Potenza tires, pretty similar to the F1s and Michelin Pilots. Anything that I need to know about the pressure sensors? Can they still be used in these tires? Thanks.

With your stock wheels, no problem. The sensors mate to the wheel, what tire you put on top doesn't matter.

I am also changing tires on my 97. Either Michelin Sport a/s run flats or
Bridgestone Potenza pole position 03. The M's cost 1320 and the PP's are 960 for 4 (non run flats). Any one else put these Michelins on their C5?
