apcollin, believe me, the first thing I'm doing when I have 60-100 grand lying around (don't I wish?) is getting a diesel + 5 speed conversion on my DI. As well as a few other mods :P

Don't know about stock tires, but when you run bigger tires, sport mode counter acts the bigger turning radius of ther tiresby allowing the engine to go higher in r.p.m before changing gears, therefore saving gas because the engine struggles less .
