What's the difference between the RE050a and the RE050MZ? The MZs are what I have on my 2006 S2000.

I've moved from F1 Eagle 255s on the rear to a pair of new 225 RE050s. I am of the same opinion as the OP that they're sh1te. The steering wheel seems very floppy & the always seem about to breakaway on roundabouts.
I have also removed my engine lower cross brace which is probably contributing to the very different handling.
I'm inclined to believe that 245s may have been the way to go (if available).

Removing the front lower cross brace will effect the handling feel and I would expect the balance change to make the rear feel a bit more slippy which could compound matters.

If you are running 17's they should be 245 section on the rear not 225 that could be part of your problem if you are running skinny rubber.
