regardless though.. sounds like an interesting idea.. it sounds like you need to add crazy camber to your car to run this tire though..
It worked for me.

The idea of the tire is that when you are running camber instead of having the majority of the contact patch on the inside of the tire, the whole tire is contacting the road. Since the tire in the video is at 2 degrees, you could run 2 degrees of camber and the tire would still be fully contacted. Remember camber has more to do with the geometry of the suspension, not the tire position.
The inside of the tire would have a shorter sidewall than the outer.
Also, since the physics of the tire take away the need for any toe, the wear would decrease in that area also.
