Front & rear camber and some other stuff
Ok I'm confused on a question I feel like someone else definitely asked before but I just can't find a clear answer so I thought I'd ask again......
Why front camber > rear camber or the other way around?
Also has anyone used kumho v730 yet? what is it like? just got a set fitted, first test would most likely be sonoma next weekend, wanna hear some feedback before going

They're certainly a step up from the V720, like night and day. The 720s were a soggy doggy poo of a 200tw tire. These are probably a good competitor for the Falken 660+. I like em.

More front camber will maintain stronger front grip during cornering. So...the car will pivot more.
Increased rear camber will do the opposite. The car will trend toward understeer. I am not saying the car will understeer. I am saying it will take more effort to get rotation. It will be more stable. The reason virtually every single production car in the world is set up with more REAR static and dynamic camber is because its safer and more stable.
A lot of track setups favour using increased FRONT camber, however. Because you know (hopefully) what to expect. And because you've considered how this will work with your car's entire setup.
As a point of reference, with Falken RT615K+, I ran -3.5 front camber and -3.3 rear.
With RT660, I will run -3.7 and -3.5 respectively.
Again..that's advantageous with MY setup.

V730's have really stiff sidewalls, they like lower tire pressures. When you turn, the loaded wheel rolls over onto the thick tread blocks on the outside, so far most people agree these are good tires if you're camber limited. Sidewalls are even stiffer than the Bridgestones.
