New Camber Tire Tech Released by Optima Sports

Automotive and sports technology company Optima Sports from Wales, Wisconsin, recently revealed it has released a new patented CamberTire invention, which is said to improve handling and braking performance, safety and fuel efficiency. According to its developers, the new tire design includes a trapezoid profile and asymmetrical sidewalls.

Camber designs can be utilized on any on-road and off-road vehicles with independent suspension or those with non-driven solid axle(s), which means they have market applications for every automobile category.

This means CamberTire applications include automobiles, SUVs, conventional trucks, recreational vehicles, semis, trailers, and a number of other off-road applications such as outdoor sports vehicles, construction equipment, and lawn and garden and agricultural equipment.

"This advancement will revolutionize the tire industry and we are ready to bring it to market," John Robinson Scott, the company owner and the CamberTire inventor, said in a release. "The benefits this design offers are significant to a traditionally slow changing industry – we have, literally, reinvented the wheel."

Scott's company has been in prototype partnership with M & H Racemaster, who plans to license CamberTire rights for their drag racing line.

"We have seen excellent results so far as we have optimized the production process.  Adopting the camber tire technology can provide us with the competitive edge we are looking for in several types of racing," said Tom Lorden, general manager of M&H.  "The camber tire design is likely to be the most significant advancement to tire performance since the introduction of radial tires.  We are researching applications in all of our product lines.
