Ooh I forgot to ask. What about those tyres that let you have camber but give you just as much road contact as regular non cambered wheels

what tyres?

What is a Camber Tire?

A Camber Tire is a tire built with an outer sidewall that is slightly taller than the inside sidewall resulting in a continuing decreasing diameter across the tread surface as compensation for a negatively cambered alignment setting to the wheel. When mounted on a vehicle with independent negatively cambered suspension research indicates that the Camber Tire Technology is capable of delivering substantially Improved Handling with Improved rather than sacrificed Ride Quality, Improved Tread Wear, Decreased Tread Noise, Decrease incidence of Emergency Maneuver Roll-Over, and Improved Fuel Consumption with Reduced Emissions due to a Reduction in Rolling Resistance from eliminating the need for Toe-In, and optionally facilitating the use of narrower tires to attain comparable performance among other benefits. And perhaps more importantly from a pragmatic perspective, the camber tire does so with nothing additional added-to or modified-on the vehicle. Simply a new set of tires and an alignment including properly setting the suspension camber (inexpensive camber plates if necessary; OEM on many vehicles) and the many benefits are gained whether a new or old vehicle, SUV, passenger or sports car, diesel, regularly aspirated, turbo, supercharged, hybrid, electric, Ferrari, Porsche, Prius, Teslar or a 1974 VW Beetle!

Kinda like those ^

I think Nitto and Goodyear made one but havent seen that in a while.

Michelin do them and Falken.

Mostly stuff that comes from Jap.

(I must be thinking about the dual compound thing for motorcycles re: camber wear.)

That is unfortunately completely daft... The point of camber is to handle sidewall squish and body roll in a manner that keeps as much of the tyre as possible on the road. I can't see how that'd help that.

maybe its for the posers that want legal camber It may work for track specific instances

Poor Besy I will miss his epic camber and credit-card thickness guard-gap.

Bump from the dead for relevancy haha

throw it back where you found it ffs

[Marky]

what? i saw the thread and thought it might be handy reading for a couple

the tyre thing is stupid but the link to the regs is useful

[johnny5]

who needs camber? lol just flare up dem guards I say automania today was Stance galore was actually kinda weird it made me stand out not being Stanced was thinking of adding 5mm spacers though but I think they are illegal to so probably won\'t

I\'m not excessively low and just on shock and spring combination I have around 3 deg. Barely noticeable

3degrees is huge
