If you are mostly just commuting, they will be fine. If you plan to do any sort of performance driving, there are a variety of superior options (the pss is popular now), as the re050s aren't exactly a great bang for buck tire.
The v12s especially have a very soft sidewall and are notably imprecise.
Whatever you do, don't mix tires front to rear

Thanks for the input. Yeah, that's what I'm seeing more. The RE760 seems to be softer than the re050a. I am seeing members buying PSS more and more. I'm tempted to buy it. but I think I'll hold off on that until next year or so as I will be commuting a lot on the Z still. V12 looks good and have decent review but yes the sidewall seem to be soft.
I think at this point, I may just get a pair of RE050a and call it a day (not mixing the tires front to rear). Next year or so, I'll probably get PSS all around.

there's a local Costco that has RE-11s. but then I have to change all 4s as I was told it's a bad idea to mix tires. Is RE-11 upgrade from RE050a?

I think they are a little softer than RE050a. Yes it'll last longer and probably more quiet but you also lose agility.
