Small update:
80 miles and I have a big of regret. I should've done this sooner.

The good:
After the tires warmed up from about 15 miles of highway driving I refueled and at the next light I mashed the gas expecting some wheel spin in Sports+ with full throttle (no launch or overboost).
The car hooked up with no spin or DSC lights and rocketed me forward.
I was happy.

Hit the regular bumps, dents, dips, and umps.
No feelings of dread or guilt the tires absorbed everything without any drama.
Normal mode (comfort for some of you?) finally feels "Normal" and Sports mode is something I can use all the time without guilt of damaging the suspension.

The car feels "Nimble" possibly due to the rotation mass reduction or maybe its all in my head but I'm really starting to enjoy this car as it feels much less like a tank and more like a roadster.

The bad:
These tires resonate like crazy on the freeway. They HOWL. and I don't care at all because they are that good.


Some Details:
I am running 38psi all around cold.
Wheel bolts are torqued to 90ft/lbs as per the manual.
