Pretty slick, wonder how they work/last in the real world.

[TheBlizzard]

Cool idea, but yeah, do they work in the real world.

Link wouldn't work on my pos phone, but these sound the same as nitto neo gens.

^ No these are not like the Nitto Neo Gens. The NGs have a dense inside shoulder tread that makes the tire not wear as quickly for cars with alot of camber.

The tire this guy invented are not square. The tires have camber built into them. Basically its like this...

|_| <- normal tire (square)

\_\ <- camber tire that this guy invented.

Instead of the tire compensating for negative camber why not just run 0* camber? As far as I can tell, that's all this tire is doing.

They used Evo X's to test this out.

The idea makes sense, I think this will catch on big.

NASCAR uses it...because they only turn left :)

The data results from that test aren't huge but the verbage suggests they are way impressed. Will be interesting to see where this goes though, that's for sure.

According to the picture in the link provided the tires have different height sidewalls and aren't actually angled like that.

What I don't understand is why you wouldn't just leave the suspension at 0 degrees and put the short sidewall on the outside.

NASCAR uses square tires like everyone else.
