I ran Kumho Ecsta XS on 17x8 +36mm offset up front with stock Primacy on 17x7.5 +40mm rear for a little bit (because of worn rears on the XS) and had a more of a blast daily driving than on the stock tires all around. Definitely had to be on top of it more but was nothing dangerous. Would definitely put sticker tires up front...stickier tires in the rear makes no sense at all except for drag racing...

Front end understeering and not being able to turn in as well as a stock FR-S because the rear doesn't want to rotate as easily does not inspire confidence - compared to the rear behaving just like stock but with better front end turn-in and grip. And at a minimum hold button to keep TCS and VCS off...will go a little nuts and stupid on you if left on.
