Positive Camber: Maximum Contact, Even Wear

Axle with camber for reduced tyre wear

Setting a positive camber ensures maximum contact between the road and the tyres when the vehicle is laden, optimum tyre tracking and avoidance of uneven, premature tyre wear. Precisely adjusted toe-in ensures good straight-ahead stability. Lower operating costs and greater driving safety.
