Continental ContiProContact tires: Bad for camber.
Just my luck, haven't been on this forum in the last couple months, make a couple posts in hopes of info for exhaust setups, was going to get it done in a month or so.
Turns out that the car-gods have other plans for me and blew out one of the rear tires on my LS.
Moral of the story, is that Continental ContiProContact hate camber (Dialed at -4.75 on the one that blew out). Although they were down to the rub-strips, so I can't complain. They were at half tread when I cambered them out, lasted me about a month and 2ish weeks.
Gotta find something with a stiffer rubber compound tomorrow.

As much as I dislike Continental, I have to stand up for them a little here - that isn't caused from negative camber, that happened because the tire was low on air pressure... Didn't even have to be very low at all, maybe even 5-10 psi, doubt you'd even notice with that much camber, but, air pressure is what carries the weight of the car and when it isn't where it is supposed to be, what you see in your picture is what happens...

Really? Well damn, that makes me even happier honestly. Because the camber I have on the car isn't really negotiable unless I raise the car :I
Does make more sense since this is what I tackled when I blew it out.

Street curves and then elevates then slumps back down.
