I notice that my car seems to "float" when zig zagging more than the 050's but they are still new and I only have 400 miles on them soo....yup. But I know in good consciouness that I picked the tires for mileage rathe than perfomance as stated before.

I felt the same thing at first but it tightened up after a while. The RE760's are rotatable and give the entire car an asymmetrical tread layout that seems to need to settle in before they grab.
