...don't expect the Yokohamas to do anything to help alleviate the torque/camber steer. They have a nice stiff sidewall and a very, very flat shape across the tread which add greatly to the performance (which is what I was after).
I up-sized to 225/45/17 because I wanted more grip and better performance which is exactly what I got--less wheelspin, less understeer, much better wet and dry traction. It is also an amazingly quiet tire. Another thing that http://www.tirerack.com found in their testing of the AVS Sports against the Bridgestone S-02's and the Dunlop SP Sport 9000's is that the Yokohamas had significantly less wear and noticeably more even wear than the other tires after their testing was finished.
I think they're outstanding tires--even more so when you start comparing prices to other similar tires.
