Camber Technology Explained The Camber Tire features an asymmetric design with the outside of the tire having a higher sidewall than the inside. This enables the user to add negative camber to the axles in order to increase stability and cornering grip, while maintaining a consistent footprint. This results in: Smoother Ride Greater Cornering Force (Lateral Trac Less Heat Build up Less Scrub Longer Wear Improved Fuel Economy Enhanced Acceleration/Braking
Benefits (Observed) Quiet Reduced Harshness Improved Tread Wear Reduced Heat Build-up Increased Tread Width More Predicable Steering Response Improved Handling, Braking, High Speed Stability Reduced Roll-over Risk Lower Rolling Resistance

Magazine Test Results Automobile Magazine Named Camber Tire one of Ten Most Significant Technologies Comparison test vs. ADVAN A13 (OEM Lancer Evolution) Results confirm Cambertires do provide measurable advantages over conventional rubber designs Shortened Stopping Distance by 11 feet Increased Cornering Grip by over 4% Steering and Feedback clear and concise on Cambertires Even more amazing was on-road performance, traversing pavement imperfections with much less trauma transmitted through the car s chasis.
Magazine Test Results Autoweek - We briefly tested a set with two degrees of camber on a Mitsubishi Evolution and came away impressed. The ride was quiet and comfortable over rutted roads, but the tires still returned the incredible steering response and corning grip we expect of an Evo. John Wong, Associate Editor Automobile Magazine and New York Times Now that we have enjoyed a few miles over the road on these tires and had a chance to conduct two performance tests, we are more convinced that these tires are worthy of our acclaim.

Pro Driver Test Results With the Optima Cambertire you get all the advantages of camber without introducing any of the negatives. I believe that commercializing this technology not only will yield an improvement in performance capabilities for motor sports, as well as a revolution in the passenger tire business, but also merits humanitarian purpose because tires that last longer are better for the environment and tires that are safer are better for everyone. Thomas E. Sneva - winner of 13 Indy car openwheel races, including the Indy 500 and Member of the Motorsports Hall of Fame

OEM Testing of Cambertire OEM Testing of Cambertire Feb 2013 Results/Observations - Control Tire (0 degree) vs. 2 degree Camber Tire Handling 2 degree Cambertire was easier to maintain at the limit in lateral traction. NVH - All OEM engineers agreed that the 2 degree tire had a remarkably smooth and quiet ride (actually unbelievable was the word heard more than anything else), even over their rough surface road (including railroad tracks, off-kilter manhole covers, speed bumps etc.) All remarked at the ease of turn-in and that the tires were
OEM Testing of Cambertire Demonstration of 3 and 4 degree tires on drift cars. In autocross-style course, drifting and on the rough surface simulation road. All were impressed with the unparalleled shock absorption the tires exhibited, the incredible control, sharp cornering and predictability. The drift drivers were simply amazed at the performance of the tires. The owner of the company, Dan, commented that while he has been drifting for many years, he has never been able to drift past third gear, but he had no problem doing so up and through 4th gear in either car. He said it is incredibly smooth when going into a drift and incredibly easy to control. The extreme durability the tires was evident as the tires looked great after a full day of drifting. One driver commented that now having drifted on the Cambertires, they would not want to drift on anything else. The OEM engineers were all impressed with the performance of the 3
OEM Testing of Cambertire OEM found the results of the first test promising. They will now conduct additional testing on their own test fleet of vehicles for potential fitment in their product line. They have already identified specific vehicle fitments that they would target for fitment. Cambertire will collaborate with OEM on further testing.
