With previous cars I've always ran the winter tires a couple of pounds higher than the car recommended in order to compensate for the softer sidewalls, but the FR-S feels different.
Are the x-ice xi3 that bad? I bought them because they got really good reviews on auto websites, but it seems a lot of people here are having problems with them
