The front camber has been increased compared with the regular MINI John Cooper Works, so that the performance potential of the sports tyres — which differ significantly from road tyres — can be used to full effect, without the penalties of early understeer, inevitably leading to
increased tyre wear.
If wheel rim off - set of the Volvo differs from the Ford then this may produce undesirable effects such as
increased tyre wear, tyre noise, or over or under steer.
