Found some tires that might help with our camber/feathering problem - Nitto NEOGEN

The Neo Gen is an all-season ultra high-performance radial specifically engineered for lowered vehicles. Because the inner shoulder is one continuous block, the tread maintains stability on lowered vehicles with higher degrees of negative camber. This stability reduces tread flex and allows the tire to wear evenly. The result is a tire that prolongs performance on lowered vehicles.

Performance Rating: V W
UTQG Treadwear: 280
Traction: AA
Temperature: A



Pretty cheap too. This will be going on my Work T1S, 19x19.5, 19x10.5.

Yup...these been around for awhile.
Didnt get cuz they didn't have for 20's.
Funny...I was just telling a friend about these last night.
Great tires for the ppl who don't understand the benefits of negative camber and are all butt hurt by inside wear.
But great tires for the ones who do want negative camber and understand the handling benefits.

will these sizes fit on the stock sports rims?
I'm more worried about the rear ones because 275 seems kinda wide for the stock rims. Also will this size config. keep the VDC happy?

The stock rim sizes are 19 x 8 and the rear is 19 x 9 so I think I may be pushing it...
These tires do look nice tho

Um, I really doubt these size would fit the stock 19's... These tires are gong on my Work's T1S 19x9.5 anx 19.10.5...

I don't think Nitto has the stock 19 size. Just keep emailing them and ask them to make those sizes.

I had a set of those a year or two ago. They are quiet, have decent dry traction, and solid rain traction. I had them on a lowered Maxima with negative camber and they wore evenly the whole life. They are a good solid tire and are fairly cheap. I'd definately recommend them.
