Default RE050Z

I took my S for its MOT this morning at Kwik-Fit and it failed due to excessive wearing on the inside of the front tyres. I had to buy some new tyres from them and they only had the RE050Z and not the MZ. I managed to get a good deal but I am not sure what the difference is.

Does anyone know if it will affect the handling significantly. The rears are nearly new MZs. Its the first time I have had different rubber on the car.

Cheers

I have Z's on the front. Inherited from previous owner. Done 14k on em with no problems. They don't understeer or have any alarming characteristics. Don't worry about it.

87 which is the same as the MZ. As far as I could see everything was identical except the designation and the MZ was made in Japan whereas the Z was made in Poland.
