Here is a video from Car and Driver showing what happens when you replace the stock tires on the FR-S with some high performance tires. Obviously, the high performance tires are faster but the surprise is the amount of time shaved off from stock setup on a track. The track is Spring Mountain Motorsports Park, Nevada. The video also uses a MazdaSpeed3 and Impreza WRX as a comparison.
