Default Fresh import with slippy tires

I have recently got a 95 wrx,and while cornering at sensible speeds in the wet the car feels very slippy with a little understeer,the tires are yokomo 205 50 16 and are just about new.I just wandered if this is normal,or should i change my tires quick.

Change your tyres while the car is still on the road! You'll regret it if you don't I know from previous cosworth experience and it is much fun looking back at a car on it's roof written off!

Dont think jap tyres have a very high speed rating as all there cars are limited to 112mph. So best to change them.
