You didnt like the feel of the RE970AS on all four?

It honestly wasn't bad, but I knew that the sidewalls were softer, and if you do a quick jerking of the wheel back and forth, you can feel the car unsettle and shimmy. On the stock RE050A, they car just simply darted to the side with no body roll. Grip-wise though, the RE970AS are amazing. Straight line grip is awesome.

I demand a lot from my car handling wise, so I figured I found a perfect balance with stiff, grippy S04 fronts, with the still grippy and long lasting RE970AS in the rear.

Trust me - if you drive in a car with summer performance tires (preferably another Z), it will make sense. Our cars feel like they are on rails with good tires.

One thing that annoyed me about the RE970AS is that I wish they came in 305 wide.
