Maybe so...but cars are a commodity market any more...lower cost is what it is all about. I have a 9 year old SLK350...more than a little upset that the plastic headlights have deteriorated. Old days they used glass...but fuel economy and manufacturing costs have made them all plastic now...and they don't last...

Everything has a cost/benefit analysis. If I have to pay more for a tire with camber built into it how will I benefit? Will it save me money? Enough to offset the increased cost of the tire and the suspension modifications? Joe Lunchbucket isn't concerned about better handling when he drives 20 miles to work on the freeway everyday. How much more fuel efficient will these tires be? 50%? 10%? 2%?

Not enough legitimate data out there to support an industry wide shift to this product...
