   Does weight transfer to the front tires on a steep downhill turn have a   
   compounding wear effect over and above the increased camber based scrub   
   radius on the inside tire outside edge on those tight turns?

   Since kingpin angle (like castor angle) contributes to wheel camber   
   increases with increasing steering input at any speed or inclination, do   
   you think a slight decrease in positive caster might lessen the inevitable   
   camber scrub effect on the outside edge of the inside front tire on tight   
   turns?   
      
   Would the drawback be decreased stability on the bumpy level straights?
