On behalf of my fellow chicago highway goers: Please, please, please do not drive on the stock tires between November and May. Your stopping ability will be severly impaired.

Possibly. You have to big pretty sizable wheels to clear the front brembos. Check the wheel/tire section for fitment questions.

I know this is completely stupid of me to say but like love to push it in the rain! You can get to the limit of the traction circle quicker and faster with a little bit less tire wear. I think that it drives just fine, almost like the road was dry. I'm just careful as to not to snap off of the throttle or brake just because there may be a chance that I can induce trailing throttle overstear.
But ya I think the Advans are great in the rain.
