[Fot] Interesting tire development

Hey gang,

I just got the latest copy of Popular Mechanics and it had an 
interesting little article about a new tire--the Camber Tire from Optima 
Sports. It gives you negative camber all the time, but keeps the tread 
patch squarely on the road. The way they do this is to shorten the inner 
sidewall. The article says the company hopes to have production versions 
in a couple of years.

Interesting approach. I was mulling just the other day over how I didn't 
think there had been any real "revolutions" in the tire industry any 
time recently. Think this will be one?

Here's their website: http://www.cambertire.com/. It's not the best 
quality, but gives a little info. And the "Racer" tab is not clickable 
for me (and it's replaced by "Green" when you scroll down), so no info 
there.   :(

Just FYI!

Keep Triumphing,
Susan     :)
