Message	The inner edge of your tire does indeed rotate at the same speed as the outer edge, but because of the slight negative camber, there is a greater amount of weight saddled upon the inner edge. This causes the inner edge to flex vertically to a greater degree than the outer edge, resulting in a smaller inner radius - thus decreasing it's velocity relative to the rest of the tire. As we all know, as your velocity increases time slows down, according to: Because the inner tire is rotating more slowly and thus experiencing slightly more aging due to the increased age (relative to the rest of the tire that rotates on a slight larger radius, and therefore higher velocity), it is wearing more quickly. I'm surprised you didn't find this in search. mkay? Kenny... PETZ Member #5 SteamyZ. Never had did me wrong. - SL103 07/06/04 11:58:15
