i saw it on a magazine once, wish i wrote the type and brand done

its for cars with camber, the inside is a harder compound, for less wear, and the middle is kind of normal compound, and the outside is softer, so it all wears at almost the same time, anyone heard of it???

damn, cuz i cant afford RUCA for my rear, i was thinking of switching to those, since i have heavy camber on the inside and normal wear on the outside

u dont recommend em?? why they dont work, or are they like ridiculously over priced

camber doesnt cause tire wear...so you wont get heavy wear on the inside

i take it you have coilovers? have you gotten an alignment since putting them on?

my guess is no, and to piggy back on fly its the toe gained by the increase in camber that causes excess tire wear

the front has camber bolts on it, but its still getting uneven wear, wtf!!
