From what I've seen, replacement tires for the XFE are no big deal. I bought my '09 sedan in January (first weekend of the year, was about 70+ in Missouri, perfect time to buy a new car) and it has the Continental Touring Contact AS 195/60-15s A friend from work bought an '09 LS XFE coupe within the past two weeks, it has Goodyear Integrity tires, same size. I haven't heard of any changes in sourcing. Maybe it's just a matter of GM being "cut-off" by Continental due to financials? As a rule, I like Goodyear, but I've heard mixed reviews of the Integrity line.

BTW, I chose to have a shop install the cruise for me, even though the install looks easy as pie. Not only did the dealer enable the BCM, they also referred me to the shop that did it. Total cost: $374.48 I've seen the kits as low as $118, mostly they run around $178 or so.

Update on last tank mpg: 37.2 based on fill-up, 37.3 avg from DIC
