I'm pretty sure I'm going to get the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA3 and add the silver Sports Edition F10s.

Now, one more question. TireRack states that I need the TPSM package for an additional $230. If I don't plan on doing much winter driving, is this a necessity? Or can I skip the TPSMs entirely? Will I have to deal with a warning light all winter long? Thoughts on this? Thanks again!
You can skip it but you'll have a light on the dash the entire time. For what it's worth, assuming you're buying a wheel & tire package, the $230 isn't bad b/c you're getting free mounting & balance. If you changed your mind down the road, you'd have to spend an additional $150 for m&b.
