did you take physics in highschool? just think about it.


tires moving forward...

if they're like this | |-----| |
then the rolling resistance will be minimal...they will be rolling close to true while going forward and will not be "scrubbing" against the ground


if they're like this / /----\ \
then there will be much more rolling resistance because the tires will be trying to go in their respective directions instead of going forward, which is no doubt where the car will be trying to go


it's simple science man...just think about it



a more aggressively cambered tire will wear unevenly and faster than a tire that is close to flat against the ground, but a tire that's not straight is going to wear out exponentially faster than one that is aimed straight (~0 toe)
