I get that the Primacy tires are on it because they're long-lasting, all-around tires with low friction that enable a bit of tail end slide, but aren't we past that fun marketing gimmick at this point? I mean, the BRZ suspension retune last year went a ways toward downplaying the tail-end slide. Why not just put proper tires on it out the door?
The tires have been addressed already. If you want the grippier but less fun tires, you can have them. My car came with Michelin Pilot Sport 4's, and yes, I know it's a limited edition, but the TRD 86 makes up a huge chunk of the 2019 86 production run, and offers the same option. Yes you have to pay, but that's no different from many other companies who have a tire upgrade linked to a performance package.
