Yes less emphasis on the stretch (not what I am after) and more emphasis on the fact that they worked. I did not notice any degradation in grip compared to the same exact tires on a 15x9. They felt great. I did have a problem with the rear tires being hot in the centers compared to the edges of the tread. They were set at what I normally use for starting cold pressures. I ran 2-3 lbs less pressure to compensate and they were still warmer in the center of the tread, ~10 deg F, measured with a Longacre probe type pyrometer. Interesting. It could be completely unrelated to the wheels but worth noting.
I cannot say there was a big increase in grip either since there are too many other variables involved to be certain: different track, different weather, one of the front tires was new, different suspension adjustments, etc..
