Default Clare - are smaller car tires easier to balance than SUV tires?

You won't. Information on it is scarce since it is an undesired effect.
However, if you look at what the wheel is doing vis a vis camber during
high angle (note - not high speed) cornering, then you can visualise the
issue. Note too that tread blocks have a limited degree of flexibility
and, as such, are likely to exceed that during high angle cornering
resulting in tread scrubbing.


Hi Xeno,

While I don't race, our conditions are "extreme" enough, in that constant
incessant repeated nearly full back-to-back wheel locks are causing
"something" to scrape away rubber, so this "camber scrub" is intriguing.

I snapped this photo of tires that I mounted about a month ago, which only
have about 1000 miles on them, where they clearly show this pattern which
"might" be what you've been referring to as "camber scrub".

Does _that_ feathering look like what you're referring to as "camber scrub"?
