Will probably be one of my first mods when I get my car, dunno if I will go +1 on Diameter but for sure getting wider tires makes sense from the get go.
I think the problem is more related to tread design and compound than it is to width. I've driven plenty of cars with narrow tires in the rain, and none of them had as little grip as it seems the FRS/BR-Z does.
