Nice, I didn't think of checking that.
The stock tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 (max performance summer), which are actually less sticky than the Star Specs!
Tirerack tested both on a BMW F30 sedan and the Star Specs come in at 0.93g while the Eagle F1 was 0.89g.
So in short whatever Porsche did to that car, it sticks to the road way better than the FRS does. Maybe massive negative camber would make things better, I dunno. I still don't think the rear end grip problem can be fixed, seeing how there's only I think 20-30% more grip that can be added by switching to aggressive compounds.
