I've been switching between the P-Zero Assims and the Dunlop SuperSport Race tires depending on whim and need. The Dunlops stand straight up off the car. The Pirelli's lean on one side, towards the outside, something I noticed even when the tires were brand new. This is true of both the giant rears and the tiny fronts, on two separate sets. I assume this means that the diameter of the outside is less than the inside on the P-Zero Assims. When mounted on the car, with the wheels at zero camber, there is therefore more weight on the inside of the footprint of the tire. Same result as if you had negative camber. A negative camber tire? Is there such an animal?

Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I can't speak about the naturally aspirated car, but my 996TT has a very visible amount of negative camber. It is purely a function of suspension and does not relate to tires. I do not know what would cause the differece you are noticing. <img border="0" alt="[cheers]" title="" src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" />
If you have P-Zero Assims, check it out next time you bleed your brakes or whenever you take your wheel off the car. Or it might just give you something to do with your "toy". Stand the tire/wheel on a flat surface. The P-zero Assims won't stand straight. They will lean to the outside. I don't recall any other tire doing this, and the Dunlops don't. Weird.
If they were leaning toward the outside, wouldn't that be positive camber? Never mind - I figured it out once I sobered up! <img border="0" alt="[cherrsagai]" title="" src="graemlins/drink.gif" />
The Pirelli's just have a rounder face and it's the weight of the wheel center that pulls them to the outside.
Just got a reply from another board. Apparently, BF Goodrich made a Comp T/A R1 track tire in the past that had a softer outside wall, and this gave a virtual negative camber on hard cornering. Same princple as the Assims. And I thought I was crazy .
