Here's a pretty good discussion of the Camber Tire...it was definitely a
hot topic amongst us in SCCA a few months ago.

That seems... strange. At least by the image provided. They induce an
angle
in the tire (camber) BUT, the tire rides flat (as if there was zero
camber).
So, when the car corners the forces would seem to negate the 'built in"
camber just like a regular tire. In fact as the car corners it seems the
car would ride up on the outer part of the tire and increase the speed at
which it would loose grip
If the point of negative camber is a tire level with the road surface -
while cornering, it seems this idea is reinventing the wheel in circular
reasoning. Am I missing something?
