It is a fact that added negative camber prevents the street tires from
"chunking" where the tread meets the sidewall
And that is where my entire street tired attempts at autocross, after 1-1.5
deg - camber it no longer happens

Are they shaved? Do you think having a stiffer suspension might help
alleviate chunking? Do the top STS drivers have a set of street wheels
and a set of race wheels or do they tow?
