Report: A Cambered Tire Helps Save Fuel

Innovative Cambered Tire Helps Saves Fuel, Boost HandlingWe already know that it’s possible to curb your fuel consumption just by having your tires properly inflated, or better yet, installing a set of low rolling-resistance tires, however, soon there may be an additional avenue to look at when picking the most fuel efficient rubber for your ride.
The answer is the camber of your tires, more specifically, the negative camber. This is when the tops of your car’s tires are angled inwards towards the chassis.

Woot, now I have one more reason to justify getting a special wheel alignment.
