I feel like they would work much better than the yokos on limited camber, similar to the RE71R but still not as good as rival S which is basically a tire for cars without camber, it has the mushiest of sidewalls and feels about as precise as a 20lbs hammer.

I believe you're right. My reasoning going with the Yoks was they're the grippiest and it doesn't make any rational sense that camber is going to make one tire better than another.


Kinda like, low camber Yoks in theory, should be better than low camber Falkens... if in fact the Yoks are a grippier compound. But that's not what the real world results are showing. In actual application, the Yoks are probably magical if you're running STX, -4 degrees up front, stiff suspension. I think the soft sidewall as something to do with it and Yok might deform enough under heavy loads without camber that you actually put less tire to the ground. Only a theory, but that would explain it.
