Any thoughts on starting after sitting for months? Maybe remove fuel pump fuse? Anything else?

I always change the oil after storing a car for an extended period.

Default and hope the tires don't have flat spots. If they do it will feel like they need balancing.
Flat spots usually go away after some driving.
If you had it up on jack stands this shouldn't be an issue.

Default check e-brake. it may be stuck or atleast the pads/caliper. May require
a bit of extra gas to break free. Also try to get a fresh tank of gas.

Dunlop SP 01 does not look to be the highest performer according to this site.
