What are the benefits of negative camber?

[LaCourtney]

Benefits of negative camber: It refers to the 'toe-out' configuration where the force angle and contact area of negatively cambered tires are ideal, enhancing the vehicle's cornering performance. Since the friction for vehicle movement is provided by the tires, the magnitude of friction is directly related to the tire's contact area with the ground. After setting negative camber, the vehicle gains greater friction support for both acceleration and braking, naturally making it more stable during driving. Many performance sports cars modify their tires to have negative camber primarily to increase grip during turns and enhance overall vehicle performance. When a car turns, the body tilts due to centrifugal force, compressing the outer wheels and suspension, which bear greater pressure. With negative camber, the tire's contact area increases, resulting in stronger handling performance.
