A few came with max performance summer tires as a factory option, but that was pretty rare -- Bridgestone Potenza RE050A.
Put the FR-S on equal tires and the lap time would be closer.

Also, the GTI is a 2.0 liter turbo. The FR-S is a 2.0 liter NA. Lets call up Full Blown Motorsports, add a turbo to a stock FR-S with equal tires, and then see which one has the faster lap time. The price for the modded FR-S would probably be about the same as the GTI.
