So high performance cars use low profile rubber because it improves handling. So the Honda Civic and VW crowd saw this and took it to hyperbolic extremes. If low profile is good for performance then no profile must be better! The spiritual successor to this douchbaggery is "stancing" vehicles. High performance cars run a lot of camber because it's better for hard cornering. So the Honda Civic and VW crowd saw this and said, if 2 or 3 degrees is good, then 45 degrees must be better!
