Camber Thrust
Camber thrust is the lateral force generated when a tyre is tilted from the vertical plane, known as the camber angle. A tyre with negative camber produces an inward thrust that can improve cornering grip. Understanding camber thrust is important for wheel alignment settings, particularly on performance vehicles where precise handling balance is required.
