Don't mean to sound like a prick or anything, but interms of effeciency and functionability. If he could drive like that on a track with no problems, then he just doubled his tires life span. Cause it looks like only the inside half of the tires are touching right?, so when the inside half gets worn, all you do is rotate the tires side to side. This is an RC, so rotating the tires side to side don't matter like real cars where its back to front, or other specific tread patterns.

Now, if gripping is an issue like that, then yes, I'd rather have full tire contact... Aside from that, I'm not too much of a fan of that angle. If you could lessing the angle a little bit. Also, is that 0-offset? or can you bring them in a little more narrow? If you keep that angle I'd bring them in a lil more narrow (in terms of looks atleast... not sure how that'd affect your driving)
