Based on the title, I thought you were going to say you saw Jesus in your rims.

OK, now I know the right term, negative camber for better handling, here is another question,

how do rear tires get wore evenly across their surface?? would the inner side get wore faster then out side?? good for handling but bad for the life of tires??

Do anyone know how Jesus really look like??
