There is something about the RE050 that causes them to lose alot of their grip once they get down the wear bars. For reference, I bought my Z in December, the grip of the tires was best in the spring, by summer I was down the 2/32 and the grip just wasn't there anymore. That was after a few auto-xes, some drag racing, and I'm pretty hard on tires on the street. As much as I like Bridgestone, i think this is one of their worst performance tires.
