Here's a pretty good discussion of the Camber Tire...it was definitely a  
hot topic amongst us in SCCA a few months ago.

That  seems... strange.  At least by the image provided. They induce an 
angle  
in the tire (camber) BUT, the tire rides flat (as if there was zero  
camber). 
So, when the car corners the forces would seem to negate the  'built in" 
camber just like a regular tire.  In fact as the car  corners it seems the 
car would ride up on the outer part of the tire and  increase the speed at 
which it would loose grip

If the point of  negative camber is a tire level with the road surface - 
while cornering,  it seems this idea is reinventing the wheel in circular 
reasoning.   Am I missing something?
