I replaced my factory RE050a with the RE11 at 800 miles. The difference is night and day as far as grip level. As a bonus, the RE11 is a lot more quiet and have a much nicer ride. Outside of the couple dollars you save, I don't see any benefits with the RE050a.

For what you are doing, RE11 is plenty for you. The 265 fits great on my 9" front and 285 looks good on my 10" rear. I do plan to go with 285 on the 9" next week when my RE11 arrives.

Also from experience, you can probably get slightly more life out of the RE11 than the RE050a. I just want you to be aware, this is a 10-15K tire.
