We were most competitive with the deeper section wheels at nominal yaw angles (read 0-10/12.5). After looking back through our numbers, we yielded a time-weighted drag advantage over the 858 and jet9 of a few grams...a win is a win I guess (Tom Brady included).
Now, having said that, it brings back the entire high-yaw discussion Dan alluded to in his original post. We did not (but plan on doing so in the future) measure side force, although all riding reviews and first hand rides, lead to riders claiming incredible side wind performance. Our first real test ride of these was way back in December of 2015 on A1A in Miami, and Marty definitely was blown away with their performance. So the deep section 858s and Jet9s are giving you better drag performance at high yaw, but at the same time, blowing you all over the road. So which is more valuable in a high yaw situation to you?> It's a personal preference thing at that point...
Last, found this while digging through some documents which may be helpful in explaining my earlier post about stress migration:
