Grip is pretty good. I'd say they are a little harder to break loose than the RE050s. The sidewall is a little softer, though.

All in all they are a very good street tire, especially at the price they go for. I'm happy with them but I'd rather run something else on the track.

Once I have a second car and don't put so many miles on the Z I will probably go to something more aggressive like the RE11s... I just don't want to chew through 2-3 sets a year.

I'm going to be replacing mine with Bridgestone RE760's next spring. For a street tire, they have double the treadwear rating of the RE050A's and seem to have comparible grip.
