Camber Tires - built in 2°

[polishmafia]

^ 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.

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.

Matt, I don't understand what you mean when you say that they aren't actually angled like that. The different heights of the sidewalls make the angle that you see.

If you left the suspension at 0° and put the short sidewalls on the outside you would have positive camber.

Since one sidewall is shorter than the other that means the tread itself is angled 2 degrees, which is what would happen if you put 2 degrees of camber into the suspension with a square tire.

Yes, Matt. I realize the actual structure and composition of the tire, and although I have many talents, drawing the concept using an ASCII character set isn't a strong point.
