Just wondering if having too much camber can make the tyres wall collapse or deteriorate,

i have some tyres on the front and they are terribly noisey, wondering if its because they were cheapish or wether an expensive/higher quality tyre would be affected by camber, i know they will wear out on the inside, im taking about noise levels due to the structure of the tyres and it being cambered in , not sure how many degrees i have on the front but its clearly more than the stock rear camber...

There's no way you can run enough camber on the street to damage the sidewall before you wear all the tread off the inside edge.

Caveat. Answer does not take into account cheap as shit tyres, as they should not be used, and therefore I have no experience of them. :P

i was thinking if its riding on the inside edge all the time, its copping the brunt of the work which is not really how they were designed to be on a wheel,

but anyway, must just be some shit tyres then , looks like the actual tread is up and down bit, looks a bit strange....

time to save for somthing decent then. :closedeyes: do many people rotate tyres front to back or do they put the sticky $$$ tyres on the back and have cheaper tyres on front?

Always have good tyres all the way around. I use the same. Anyone who puts cheapies on the back is not really thinking about it properly. New ones go on the front, then halfway through their life they go to the back and new new one on the front again. Deals with the slightly faster inside edge wear on the fronts and compensates by spinning them up on the rear a bit more often.

With na power I'm all for cheapies on the rear and half decent on the front. Still can't really break traction so it's not an issue

Easy to spin the wheels with an NA. Surprisingly though still got more grip out of near bald Pirellis than I did from fairly meaty Kumho's
