Just back from genting, learned something new today. hahaha actually for my style of driving I don't think I need that's much of mileage to run in, I checked the tire don't even seem to be any wax (shinny) leftover on the thread.
The story is like this. Wednesday I was touge on damper setting (F10clicks R12clicks count loosen from full stiff), and I felt the grip was bad, so easier to reach tyre limit compared to s drive. It felt even worst than a 50% s drive and I thought the tire haven't fully run in. Then my suspension guy suggested that I go play around with the damper clickers.
Today I touge with my friend (same car ,stock suspension on re003). I set the damper to loosen to F8click R10 click from full stiff. Based on record, my car from gohtong to genting, at least 1 to 2 corner advance if we push our car from guard house to ria aparment. Today run was totally dissapoint with the grip, my friend able to keep up with me and even overtake me due to I dont have the grip to maintain momentum to go in and out of the corner of my low power car.
After we yam cha and discuss, my friend ask whether i'm doing full speed or not, because he felt that i'm quite slow today. The yamcha session I was cursing on how yokohama can rated such tire better than the old s drive and thought of trade in it for a set of RE003.
After yam cha I decided to give it a go , again. This time I soften the car 3 more click F&R (F11clicks R13clicks). While on the way to going down to chin swee temple and go uphill to test 1 more round, instantly I feel the car roll better than grip better. I couldn't believe, then I push hard on uphill to try. So I found my direction to tune my car, go softer more grip for these tire.
I drive my car to gohtong, play around with the setting. Found out that (F11clicks R14clicks soften from full stiff) seem working the best for this tire in terms of grip and roll level. After have some noodle at gohtong restaurant, going downhill, instantly felt a lot better, turn in, grip level, limit much higher than s drive.

Initial run up from Batang Kali to Ghotong Jaya, each time he enter corner the tyre already squealing kaw kaw
Before even there are any lateral G generated, the squealing noise is crazy After he play around with damper setting, it keep on getting better
Softer damping setting = more grip at the expense of roll
The final setup nzh0920 arrive at have good balance between grip and slight roll
On the way down from Ghotong Jaya to Batang Kali(reverse direction from initial run), the difference is significant. There are lateral G and yet the squealing from tire is a lot better, just slight squeal.
TL;DR : Need to have softer damping to run V701
