Geesh... that dude needs to shut up and let the tire do the talking. Getting e-butthurt online is not exactly the most professional way to sell your new product.
Here's the test I want to see: Start with an excellent handling car with ideal suspension geometry... say a Lotus Elise or something and put adjustable bits on it. Set up the car with normal tires, and allow the tester to make any suspension changes they'd like. Tune the suspension and get the max performance numbers.
Now, switch to the cambertire with an equivalent compound. Reset all the suspension settings and tune the suspension again. Get those max performance numbers.
Now run both setups for a long ass time and see how tire wear compares.
Compare the numbers, if the cambertire is significantly grippier and/or longer lasting, dude may be on to something. However, my guess is that tire just compensates for poor suspension setup on most cars, so it seems better without actually being better.
