cant comment on that particular tyre mate..what I will say is that I imported an sti about 3 scoobs ago...it came with Bridgestone tyres...they were horrendous..but it turned out that the tyres generally on imports are the completely wrong compound for the UK roads (so I was told)..hence they have very little grip...whipped them of and the handling was transformed..you may be in the same situation with yours mate...I would get them changed...

Watch out for a LOW speed rating....
112 mph max in Japan by limiter, whereas UK STI (2002) has 155 mph rated tyres. Just possibly an insurance company would love to squirm out of a claim because of this !
