S03's on Viggen, JC?

It's coming time to replace tires on my Viggen, and I'm curious if anyone can quantify how much a good high performance tire such as the S03 reduces the traction/torque steer issue. I've got the KIC clamp and brace, which I estimate cuts the torque steer almost in half, but have really pretty mediocre tires (Yokohama H4). Can anyone estimate, as a percentage, about how much improvement I'm likely to see with a true performance tire?
JC, I understand from your posts that you have the steering rack clamp and brace with stock bushings and S03s, is that right? I'm interested in your opinion because that's the setup I'd be ending up with. I know you've mentioned you'll probably go with a less aggressive tire next time?
All advice is appreciated. Thanks.
Ben S.
