I recently replaced the OEM tires with Michelin MXV4 S8 tires at 32K. My sense is that the AWD and regenerative braking may shorten tire life a bit. Love the new Michelins with improved ride and handling. I purchased the tires from Tire Rack and had them installed by a local Tire Rack affiliate. The TPMS sensors did not need to be replaced and there was no extra fee simply because the of the presence of the TMPS. I had to reset the TPMS system (button under dash) since the mechanic did not do that step.
