Well I Finally Got one.
To put this in perspective folks. I built one of these:
in about 1972. Always had an interest in them.
Finally, now I got this:
in the driveway. It's a 2007 GT with 13K on it. Came with 2 sets of Mats, 2 quarts of oil in the trunk (with rags) and the dreaded spare tire (I don't need much trunk space.)
Next: Winter tires. Maybe on the OEM rims and put the Dunlops on Aftermarket rims on the Spring.
Winters knocking at the door on Long Island.......

Welcome and thanks for the pic! Sounds like your well informed already. 
Dump that spare tire - its just taking up space and adding extra weight.
Keep posting...

One of the reasons I got one myself. Fascinating engine (even if they haven't completely solved the riddle of the rotor apex seal materials technology). Enjoy!!

^ I found my OEM Dunlop 8090's to be very good. I replaced them at 22k miles mostly because I wanted to try Toyo T1R's, which I will say are superior, but again the Dunlop's were pretty good and better than the OEM Bridgestone's that came on many other trims.
