....Wears the insides down to the canvas while leaving the tread still deep across the rest of the tyre. It's the same as having too much negative camber on a road car. So very expensive on tyres and not exactly safe although a car set up like that can't go fast safely.

As a rough guide: Recommended on the fronts (FWD), half-a-degree negative camber for a fast road car and one degree for frequent track use. You'll probably see uneven tyre wear even on three-quarter degree toe out.

Personally, although it may be all the latest fad, I think it's stupid and a waste of a V6 R32.  :stupid: [/end of lecture by a 63yo dad dude]
