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

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.” Don Sherman

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

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

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.
