Ok in the tire geometry we have the toe and camber setup-us. Correct me if i'm wrong, toe is the horizontal axis and camber is the vertical axis. Negative toe means the tire/rim is more inwords the car and pozitive is outwords more. Same with camber...negative camber means the tires is inclined more with the upper side, tilted more into the inside of the car and the lower side (the contact) is tilted in the same way and this giving more grip into the corners. Now the camber can be set-up acordingly to the track, if it's a twisty one or a more speed track. Also the negative the camber the less top speed you'll get and more tire wear. I wonder what are the effects of pozitive camber. I never seen a car with pozitive camber. Also what are the dirrect affect of pozitive and negative toe.

Or maybe i got it all wrong and i'm messed up.
What do you think guys?
