OMG i love this thing, classic styling and modern internals....kind of reminds me of the na.

the wheels are a little too big imo, but i think this will indefinitely will be in my garage one day. and i really love the red one int he video.

i don't think so. alignment and camber will solve it though.

technically, there is no such thing as getting camber wear because of your camber. what there is is when the toe is incorrect, forcing the tire to spin inwards "dragging" the tire into the ground which is what causes the camber wear. not a really good explanation, but i could show you with my hands. lol. ;)

Camber wear is very real regardless if you push the car or not. 911s really see this problem especially with the weight bias. My tires cone incredibly with the camber I have.

if you get a proper alignment when you have 0 toe, camber wear doesn't happen. just regular wear on the tires.

Still false.

LEAVE BEN ALONE!

[e30trooper]

You guys are funny lol.

[ethrtyiS]

Still false.

not really. negative camber does not kill tires. negative camber plus excessive toe (in or out) causes inner tire wear. toe (in or out) in effect, forces the car to "drag" the tire down the road, where 0 toe lets the tire roll down the road. make sense? negative camber will cause the tire to roll on the inside of the tire, but negative camber plus excessive toe will drag the inside of the tire down the road causing bad inner tire wear, hence the "camber" wear.

[R3Z3N]

Oh I get how it works. Your thought process is close, but even with 0 toe all round, and negative (or even positive!) camber, tires will still wear/cone. Really same principle that if you have 0 toe and 0 camber the tires will still wear out.With camber and/or toe there is weight/tire deformation+friction unevenly distributed throughout the carcass.

If this is not so, explain why my 235s on a 9" rim cone quite badly with 0 toe in the rear on my DD tires. The outside was barely worn, the inside to the chords. Happens every time. The front wears even more so due to the increased weight up front (55F/45R %)and excessive toe out for DD use, but great for AutoX/track. I do use 2 sets of wheels/tires for DD use and another specific to performance events.
