i'm running 205/55/R15 Falken ZE512 (UHPAS) on Falken Hanabis (11.13 pound) which does help both traction (wider, stickier tires) and acceleration (lost about 12 pounds per corner with lightweight wheels/tires..Toyo T1S would be a better choice of tire since it's lighter and stickier...but I use the Falkens for street use and I'm still getting to know the cars abilities..)
I haven't experimented with tire pressure too much, and the lack of a rear strut bar does make the rear behave awkwardly, but I am impressed with it's abilities in nearly-stock form. Not like my Civic hatchback, but fun all the same

decent brake pads, Tein coilover, & TRD strut tower bars (F/R) should make this car VERY respectable in the turns.
