This is mainly for the guys that run with negative camber. I daily drive with about -4 degrees of camber in the rear. Is it possible to run like that for a while then swap tires from side to side so you can use the tread on the other side of the tire? Is that even possible? Or is it buy new tires once they are worn from camber on the inside.

well i dont really run negative camber in front just back. What I am really trying to find out is if it is a big deal take your left tire and put it on the right side once its worn on the inside.. this way now you can use the tread that hasnt been touched because of the negative camber. hopefully everyone understands what i am trying to say.. lolTeam 16NiSS

Tommy, monitor your tires and flip them.. I would think you would get 5-6k out of one side, then flip them til you run them through.
flipping does require un-mounting then re-mounting the tires... not just swapping wheels side to side.

Yeah thats what I meant. un-mounting and re-mounting. Did you get around 5-6k out of yours on each side of the tires?Team 16NiSS

about... ran through a tire at 12k, and 5 degrees of camber on the rear... you just got to be mindful of current treadlife ... everytime you pump gas, check air.. just add checking the tire wear as a form of habit.

Didn't Nitto or some other Japanese tire company come out with a tire specifically designed for high negative camber applications? I think it was designed with a thinner inner and a thicker outer sidewall so that the tread would sit flat when driving... Anyone remember hearing about that?

It also depends if your tires are rotational or not bro. Btw it helps if you have a homie that sells tires .

I assuming that wet road performance would drop significantly since the water would likely be pushed to the inside of the tire. Would road noise increase as well?
