Crows Landing had the top two on Bridgestones... so they look like the top tire even for camber limited cars now.

I disagree with your assessment that "mostly everyone" is switching and your view of the Crow's tour is off. Bryan was smashing everyone on Nexens a few years ago because he's just that fast. They seem pretty evenly matched with the temperatures being more of the differentiator. The Bridgestones are more heat tolerant than the Yokohamas so as we head into the summer months if you don't see them pull ahead I would say the Yoks are still the better tire.
I have a new set of wheels on the way and am going to pick up a set of Bridgestones and do back to back testing out at Packwood throughout the year so will see how that goes.
