Thank you again Pete.
We have the same issues regarding shoulder wear without camber, yet understeer with camber
At worst, my vehicle (Clubsport at -3.3 camber and -1.0 toe) is shuddering and jarring on tight corners at 70km/h.

Thanks Sparoz.
I see that early comments are positive, and have considered these anecdotal reports. However, the reported longevity seems short ie five or six events. (Treadwear rating 60 compares to rivals at 80 ... but not so relevant since they will be discarded after 1500km.)
In reality, the limiting factor for myself is driver performance (poor) not tyre traction, and changing tyres may demand further refinements to suspension
