Just thought I'd add that the thing with the brands of tyres is highly likely to be more about the compound and structure of the tyres rather than the thread pattern. For example, in the dry, you could just put on tyres back-to-front (thread-wise) and do the same lap times.
When you're talking about uber-high performance tyres and specially if you're using them in the intended manner, different tyres heat up differently and behave differently as they do so. In the OP, the Toyo's probably work best at a different point to the Bridgestones and get there quicker/later, whereas the Yokos is probably more closely matched.
Structurally, different makes/brands do deviate quite a lot, just look at the weights of different tyre makes of the same size. This rigidity/comliance can and will make a difference.
Playing around with tyre pressures _is_ a possible way to 'dial out' this difference providing it's slight.
The best/safest bet is to go with the same brand of tyres all-round, imho. If you're driving a van you won't notice it, but in something like a Porsche, you would.

It actually says : "Mit Freundlich Grussen" which kindda means "with friendly greetings"... normally used at the end of a letter.
