The correct term is Negative Scrub Geometry!

It provides excellent stability when braking on un-even sufaces such as gravel etc.

I remember some guy from courtenay telling me that!

I didnt say he worked at courtenay did I?

I was just chatting to him at there premises.

I think they are very good vauxhall specialists but they are expensive.

But as Cambridge says: you get what you pay for!
