On a car with a lot of negative camber, round isn't as bad. A 275 tire is 10.82 inches wide and fits nicely on a 10" wheel.

It's not ideal for the street but works nicely at the track. The "roundness" is greatly reduced under high load, and can be refined with tire pressure. Negative camber increase is a requirement on this car, especially the front, for non-street driving. About -2.5 for track seems to be about perfect, could probably go to -3.0 for auto-x.
