Tires

 The Cadillac came with Michelin Primacy Tour A/S ZP tires.  As the ZP hints, these are run-flat tires, so a nail puncture lets you continue to drive (at a reduced speed) until you get to a tire store.  What surprised me is how inexpensive these are on TireRack: $291.45 per tire.  These are all-weather tires.  I may not need snow tires now that I live below 3000 feet elevation.  I am pleased to see that run-flat snow/ice tires are available for it.  The Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 Run Flats are $414.13 a tire, so I will need some serious snow to buy them.  The good news is that they are also V-speed rated.  I doubt the Cadillac will ever seen 149 mph, so that's just margin of safety.
