which has adjustments for angle cuts up to 2 degrees
BUT I was told that I should cut my front tires straight not at an angle,
Is that the "accepted" wisdom??????
It just seems to me that I would get better contact, increased traction & longer tire wear if I cut them at an angle.
So is it straight or angle????????
cut them with no taper. in gross terms the camber is set to get even tire wear. think contact patch condiiton in the corner, with caster camber and body roll combined. people do finetune for driving style but if they get very uneven wear then things are likely off elsewhere.
