caída negativa
Explanation:
Las ruedas tienen CAÍDA NEGATIVA cuando su parte superior está inclinada hacia el bastidor del vehículo. Tienen CAÍDA POSITIVA cuando sucede lo contrario: cuando la parte superior está inclinada hacia el exterior y la parte inferior hacia el interior del vehículo. Cuando existe caída negativa, el neumático se desgasta más por el interior y en determinadas condiciones puede llegar a tener mayor adherencia al apoyarse en las curvas.
