Ahah... You are right about that one. I have experienced many times that using softer tires did not increase side bite and the rear end was still wiggling. Perhaps using softer tires does allow the tire itself to flex more than the set camber for additional side bite and thus sometimes it helps. Just guessing here as usual !

Perhaps Julius may want to answer this or has he flown to Rio De Janeiro...
