New tires. Did not like the Continentals after 550 miles so I got Michelin Pilot Super Sports. Another $50/tire but well worth it.

New tires. Continental ExtremeContact DW, 245/45-18 (non-runflats). Tirerack + drop ship to installer = $937.24 installed. By far cheapest option.

First oil change @ 103k since I bought the car. 6.5 qts German Castrol 0W-30. 8% oil life. No consumption for the 6000 mile interval on presumably Mobil 1 5W-30 (dealer changed at purchase). Flushed clutch fluid - was clean. DIC reported MPG is still within 0.16 mpg of calculated.
