They also say the heat range for the tire is 160-200 and ive found the grip
goes away at 130. maybe that was just for the victoracer, but the original
ecsta v700's were the same compound.

Just so. That is precisely why I am perplexed that the manufacturer
claims that the Victoracer demands more camber.
