They are 100/85R10 motor scooter tires. From what I understand they would be used on those highway-able scooters.

It is not easy to drive. As the weight transfers you get more camber thrust. To turn tight, you need to go in way hot. Much like a downforce car, go fast to get more grip.

An odd trend, but there are always those who prefer style of any kind over substance.

Clown cars indeed.

Ridiculous negative camber is the big thing with the hip import kids now. You have to pair them with ratty stock rims or steelies, a roof rack, excessive lowering, and it's pretty popular to intentionally trash body panels or paint your hood to look rusty. The VW crowd and the JDM/drifter crowd kinda collided here in NorCal and resulted in a perfect storm of stupidity.
