I don't doubt for one moment the accuracy of your experience. However, I still believe that ultimately it all comes down to the effectiveness of the contact patch. That isn't to say that sidewall stiffness doesn't play a role in determining the effectiveness of the contact patch. For instance, a softer sidewall may permit the tire to "roll under" a bit more and as a result the inside edge may have less effective contact. Yes I am speculating on that statement but it seems reasonable.
