   Moving forward on that topic, I thank you for giving a rationale why it's   
   the nearside tire that wears its outside edge the most on twisty roads.   
      
   One confusion I still have is about the magnitude of the wear between the   
   nearside tire outside edge and the farside tire inside edge on a lock turn.   
      
   Knowing that the farside camber goes from negative to more negative, and   
   the nearside camber goes from negative to positive, aren't both tires at an   
   'extreme' camber when at the middle of the sharp curve?   
      
   If the magnitude of the farside negative camber was the same as the   
   magnitude of the nearside positive camber on those turns, wouldn't the wear   
   equal out over time given we can assume about equal number of left turns as   
   right turns?   
      
   I suspect that the magnitude of the positive camber on the nearside tire is   
   GREATER than the magnitude of the negative camber on the farside tire.   
      
   Is that the case?
