It's a bit unfair since I've got a different spec. wheel from OEM, but:
1. Very similar to S-02s, but a bit more grip & firmness.
2. In a different dimension/time/space continuum to RE050As. That soggy shit can fark right off. I might use my set as winter tyres.
See a fuller report under the Mugen GP thread.

The RE050As ive got on now feel great, really easy to drive at the limit.

RE050As make Toyos feel like jelly. So no idea how the MZs feel.

Certainly couldn't get any power down, without the rear getting lairy.
Hated them in the wet, because one couldn't tell whether it was sidewall understeer or contact patch understeer. I'm 10mph faster than I was on 50As.
But then I loved the feel of the S-02s and many didn't.

I'm very pleased with the MZs. Though changing wheels sizes means there are other factors.

How do you find the tramlining under hard braking?
I've noticed the rears take more warming up than the fronts. It gets a bit slidey at the back, then with a bit more work the rear starts to grip as well as the front.
