Anyone know of a street tire that "likes" negative camber?
I will probably going with a -2.5 front camber, and -1 rear camber for AutoX this season, does anyone know of a decent street tire I could use in between events? I will be running kuhmo v710's, but when not racing I would like a street tire that wouldn't immediately cord itself when driving on public streets. Any suggestions?

I hate to be fly in the posting here but I have a camber problem and It is eating my tires. My driver sdie was -1.70 and the tires on that side were rotated and died at 4500 miles.

The best the shop could do was get it to -1.48, I changed dampers and springs from VIII to MR's. The problem came right back. The driver side was set in Vegas and I drove to Reno and it was back at -1.70 again. The alignment shop ordered me some camber adjustment bolts for the upper bolt. They will be in next week and I will have the Camber reset to mid way in the acceptable range.

i dont think anyone actually answered ur original question. i believe nitto makes a tire for negative camber with higher wear on the innner portion of the rubber. to be honest i saw them in an ad in a magazine and the only info given was what i just stated, so i dont know how they actually turned out on the street. nto1 maybe? check it out

I would rather not have to switch my camber in between races because I lack the knowledge and equipment to do the proper alignment, so it will cost alot of time and money to have it done every month in between races to go to a shop. I will look into the Nitto's, I thought I saw an advertisement for a street tire that claimed to take to negative camber better than others, but couldn't remember what tire it was. I guess I could always switch to a higher treadwear, but then I wouldn't have any grip! =)

Simple, easy, and effective. You don't have to go get re-aligned each month...
