Thanks guys.
The immediate to do list will be a set of Yokohama ADVAN S.4. or Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position.
I'm leaning toward the Yokos.The Tire Rack survey seems to have them as a quiet and comfortable riding tire.
I've had RE960s and they are a good tire too.
I'm going to try and sell the run flats on Craigslist.

Also changing the fog lights,parking lights'city lights,high beams to MTEC Super Whites like I did in my IS.
Haven't decided if I'm going to use the JoeZ intake and blitz air filter out of the IS into the GS.

Congrats, awesome color combo.

Regarding your tire choices, many of us here have had noise issues with our Yokohama Advan A10B OEM tires. I had it on mine and after about 5000 miles they got to be pretty loud. I never had any issues with their handling, just noise. Have not heard any feedback about the Advan S4 however, hope those are much better.

I put 19000 miles on them and just switched them out yesterday in favor of Continental ConiProContacts. I've heard some good things about the tire, so I figured I'd give it a shot. Will let everyone know in 5000~10000 miles how they are doing.

Thanks for your imput,EXP_Cougar.
The whle change tire thing may be kaput now that I see there isn't a compact spare or jack tools with RFs.
It's a bummer.
