I'm sorry but this is very poor advice. I do not recommend mixing tires as you can get very unpredictable results.

Haha guys so happy! I found a great deal on the Michelin sport PS4 for $650!
I think that is a pretty reasonable price for these tires. Quick question, on the checkout page there are three add-on options I can pick, TPMS sensor $42, TPMS rebuild kit $2.50 and Valve stem $3 for each tire. What do these options mean, and do I even need to buy any of them since I'm replacing all my tires. My car has 38k miles. |

Tire Pressure Monitoring System
i'm not sure about the '20 with that fancypants display, but previous models, the TPMS was an unhappy angry light on the dash that would blink if any condition other than all tires were present, and all pressures were correct. sometimes, the original sensors can be kept, sometimes they're damaged in the process of unmounting and mounting the new tires(due in no large part to the low profile nature of our tires), and sometimes they corrode to the point that just taking them off the car is enough to need replacement. there's also a battery in each wheel, so if you choose to keep what you have, there's the potential that your existing battery will go dead halfway through the life of the tires, and you'll need to have the tire removed, replace the sensor, remounted, and rebalanced. it's not a bad idea to replace if you desire to maintain the system and it's toddler-like light bulb. it's technically illegal to remove any part of the system, as it's a federally-mandated safety system by government law now, but if given the option by the tire shop(and many will do it because you're a paying customer, or if you simply bring only the wheels/tires in, they can't program it anyways), and you routinely check your tire pressures anyways, a bit of black tape over the light, and the standard cheaper tire valves work just fine.

Also, I know these tires are not meant to be driven in the cold or snow, but will the tires or the compounds in the tire become damaged if the car is exposed to snow and really cold weather...even if the car is not used and not driven in? |

My car is over 8 years old has over 190,000 miles on it and has many tire changes. But it still has the original TPMS. The light has never "blinked". It turns on whenever the pressure is low. Fill the tire up and the light goes off.
If it ain't broke....... |

Do you think I should call and ask before placing the order, I'm guessing anything 2019+ would be ideal right?

They won't do that. Your overthinking things. Just enjoy the new tires

Main point was - properly stored tires degrade very little, way less then customers often think of (which on the other hand sometimes may result in nice deals on "old" ones). It's actual use on car, that "starts clock ticking" for tires, when they see many heatup/cooloff cycles, where they slightly deform per every wheel rotation, where tires see various ambient factors like snow/ice/low temps/road chemicals/summer heat/rain/direct sunlight. That excludes though case if some tire manufacturer keeps doing some improvements every year for some popular tire model without changing it's name. But in general, i'd think "tire manufacturing date" of eg. 3 years old rather as means to haggle price, as tire shop workers also might be guiding themselves by popular myths and wish to clean "old inventory", while i usually don't use tires more then 3 seasons (even if tire still has "legal" thread depth left). |

Correct, ideally you shouldnt be using summer tires in winter weather especially if it snows. Just something to keep in mind, it does mess with the compound it will stiffen the read and can be prone to cracking/chipping.
