I use the Blizzak WS70 in a "-1" size (205/50-16) on my FRS. Works great in the snow and cold weather. However you lose a LOT in handling compared with a regular tire (even the Bridgestone Turanza EL400-02 OEM tires). The WS70's have less directional stability, feel "slushier" on turn-in, and have much less dry grip compared with the OEM tires. My 2012 Yaris SE 5-speed had the same tires (in different sizes) as my 2015 FR-S, and I would make the same comparisons.
