Check this out from Jay Leno's Garage; new concept in tires. The guy says he'd like to hear from car clubs about their needs. Maybe there's enough Marauder owners to get something started.

Can someone fill me in on what these are without me having to watch the video? I can't stand Leno.

It's a tire with 2 degrees of negative camber built into the tire it's self. It allows you to have the handling benefit of negative camber without the inside tire tread wear.

I second that.

Thanks!
Very cool, but I just got a Carfixer alignment done so I'm not looking to switch back for awhile...

I think it's a great idea.

Awsome idea and tire to say the least!

Ya it would be really cool to test them out on a Marauder because a big heavy car definatly wants to shift it's weight a lot in the turns which can break the tires loose easily if they do not sit right on the road during the force shift on the turn.
