M&H Camber Sport Radial

New tire with 2 degrees built in camber! Better put it on with the right side out!

That's pretty cool! What sizes is that available in?

Is this directed at IRS drag cars?

245/45-17 and 245/40-18 According to Cokertires.

What I read, was that it was aimed at Autocrossers and IRS Drag Cars. So I guess it is pretty soft.

But I would think it maybe works best as a rear tire on an IRS car maybe to cancel out camber gain. But then again you would just loose some tire area another place in the suspension travel than you did before. So it just evens up.. But you can get camber on a stiff rear end by just changing tires though.

My head is now working overtime to see good use for it in the front, since you have to adjust your car to the tires. And it depends how your front end camber curve is anyway. I think I rather would keep my "square" tires... Unless you maybe have a very special car that needs this for some reason.

Or do I not get it?

I know guys that race Legends cars, that purposely cut camber into the their tires treads, much like these tires. They are always among the front of the field.

That looks like it might be the same tire, based on the tread pattern.

Do they run circle track? Or road course?

I see at www.Cambertire.com thay have a tire with the exact same thread pattern that M&H has..... Or vice versa.. Cambertires say they are good in snow without threads though...

I would think you would need either a short travel suspension or little camber gain/loss on suspension travel to make good use of them? I guess you get more "push" against the ground on the outer wheel with camber-tires. And the Inner tire would stay flatter instead of "lift-off" so much

Either way I have balloon tires on my car.. HeHe.. They adapt to the surface with built in negative AND positive camber!

Circle track.

Towel City has been making cambered tires for oval track cars for decades now. I'm surprised it hasn't popped up on street tires until now.

I remember back when I crossed a lot
the front tires would wear into a wedge
Due to the extreme amount of negative
Camber run on the car. The tire contact patch
was a lot better.... But only for a short time
because the tires were about shot by then
