That would probably be zero, or maybe 1/2 degree negative. Using the conventional 2-3 degree positive camber angle used with tall, skinny tires with a straight axle will result in the tires wearing the outside of the tread quickly, and losing whatever imaginary advantage a wide tire offers. They're going to hydroplane at any speed above a crawl anytime there's even a moderate amount of rainfall. I'd also suggest driving it only on dry, sunny days. Thank you Jerry. sounds like a thinner tire may be in order. I live in the midwest so rain is possible at any moment.
