What is the effect of excessive negative camber on tire wear?

Excessive negative camber leads to an increased wear pattern on the inner edges of the tires. This happens because when the tires are tilted inward at the top, the inner side of the tire comes into greater contact with the road surface during cornering and vehicle dynamics. As a result, this increased contact leads to greater friction on the inner edge, leading to accelerated wear over time.

In contrast, tire wear across the surface or on the outside edges, or a claim that there is no effect at all would not accurately reflect the behavior being observed with excessive negative camber. Proper alignment settings are essential for ensuring even tire wear and optimal handling characteristics. Therefore, recognizing the impact of negative camber is crucial for maintaining tire longevity and vehicle performance.
