I have been told that w211 has an intentional negative camber for front wheels for performance reasons and that this will lead to inside wear on front tires over time. True or false?

Thanks.

I hope so, but I doubt that the camber is too negative (stock). Each track, etc is different and the settings would be different, so it isn't like negative camber always makes it better. My tires wear pretty even, but I throw the car alot, which helps to flatten it out by using the outsides.

The car does have some negative camber for performance reasons but its nothing crazy. It is still mellow enough to keep tire wear even. Sporty cars should have low camber figures but with 500 hp a little grip never hurts

You can add or remove the camber with some factory crash bolts at your next check up.
