Wheels, Tires, Brakes: Anybody know...?

1. I have many questions. I am planning on purchasing Drag DR-31 rims 18x8 5x114.3 +35 do these rims take tpms?

2. I am needing to buy new tires which will work well in both normal/dry conditions and wet/snowy/icey conditions. I'm probably going to go with an ultra-high performance all season tire and have been looking into the Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS Pole Position. They seem to be good, but I have heard differing opinions about them. Are these going to be good all season tires which will perform well in snow too? If not, what is the best to go with, and what tire size should I go with for my stock sport suspension 8? Was considering the stock 225/45/r18 size.

3. I am having issues with my brakes being extremely noisy. I have aftermarket dimple-drilled and slotted rotors from Brake Performance which seem to be holding up nicely. I also have a set of Brake Performance's semi-metallic brake pads currently installed. It is absolutely impossible for me to come to a complete stop, from any speed, without the brakes squealing obnoxiously loud. I'd assume the problem is the brake pads (which now have around 600-700 miles on them), what do you think? What are some good high-performance brake pads that I could get which will keep the noise level to a minimum?

4. I am considering purchasing NHT's powder-coated brake calipers. Does anybody have any experience or information on these? I know the sport suspension 8's have larger front calipers than the standard suspension 8's do; does NHT sell calipers that fit the sport suspension?

Please answer any or all of the questions. I'd appreciate any help and information at all. Just put the number (1, 2, 3, or 4) from my question beside your answer please. Thanks!
