Some of the anecdotal stuff that more than one person has agreed on:

The Yoko is the better track day tire
The Yoko seems to put down power better on RWD cars
The Yoko seems to require higher pressures
The Yoko is between the razor sharp RE71 and lazy Rival S in feel
The Yoko is happier past the limit than the RE71, but less happy than the Rival S

No evidence that the Yoko is necessarily better than the Rival or RE71, just different. Within noise of driver preference and car setup. On my fwd car I like the sharpness of the RE71, on my 911 I prefer the forgiving breakaway of the Rival S. Haven't tried the Yoko personally, but nothing makes me think I need to on either car with the data that's out there so far. I would consider them if I prioritized track days over AX.
