Safety is my number one concern, as I will have my younger teenage sister and her best friend riding with me to Mall of America and I want the okay from you guys for a little piece of mind (you guys sound like you really know what you're talking about...compared to those people at the dealership who looked like they never seen seen an FR-S before...)

Personally, I don't feel it is necessary to change the oil before the 7,500 mile mark. The newer engines are made quite a bit tighter than the old stove bolt 6s and flathead V-8s (where you had to scrape the shavings out of the oil pan after the first 1,000 miles ....
).
Those tires you speak of (Michelin Pilot Sport All-Season) should be just fine for your trip, if you stick to the main roads. If the snow gets too deep on the freeways for them to handle it, you might consider pulling off and getting a motel till it blows over.
Have a safe trip!
