I had a set of Yokohama Ice Guard IG52C tires installed on my FR-S last week and have been experiencing some serious traction issues on wet surfaces. It is almost impossible to accelerate from a stop or get on the gas in a turn without lighting up the traction control...and I am not talking about spirited driving here. I haven't the slightest idea how relatively crappy factory tires could outperform new winter tires in wet conditions!? I'm hoping the fact that they are brand spanking new might be a factor. Will be contacting the vendor next week to get his thoughts.
