This reply is coming a bit late but I hope it'll be useful for others.
Most modern cars already have adjustable camber. This whole "adjustable camber nut" only applies to very, very old cars. My 10 year old Camry, 6 year old MyVi also come with adjustable camber as standard. All these shops will do is remove your original nut which is perfect for your car, and replace it with some RM5 after market shoddy nut, then charge you RM150 a piece.
Don't trust the readings on the computer/machine screen. Those have been manipulated. They can easily adjust the "offset" to give you bad readings.
One way I know if my camber is off is by looking for uneven tyre wear. If one side of my tyre is badly worn out while the other side is fairly good, then something is amiss.
In any case, most modern cars will not need their camber adjusted for at least about 10 years of usage, maybe even more. The only time you need adjustment is if the car has been through a major accident or if you drive it in construction sites all day everyday.

Also look out for the metal valve scam. They will claim that the metal valves are better but in my experience, they're no better than the regular plastic valves. The rubber around the metal valves will still wear out as the tyre ages.

are u sure your info is correct?regarding to the metal valves,i had changed 4 sets of tyres for my vios and they are stil running good without air leak.compare to the rubbers,there was once it leaked before the tyre wears out completely.

Even if it's true (no way to know this for sure), some who cares for aesthetic aspects of their wheels surely appreciate the looks and feels of metal valves and do not mind the price.
*
furthermore it is not that expensive. its just around rm 10 a piece but can last for 4 sets of tyres changing and stil working good.

Maybe. I am on a 235/40/18 and it could be the weight of my car too. I am driving a CC sports. My PSS didn't last me long ~25K KM only.

Should be pretty similar durability coz tread wear rating also almost the same (PS3 320 and PSS 300).

PSS is higher performance than PS3 especially in the dry. PS3 should be better for aquaplaning resistance though.

means ps3 is better for raining?

Need help. Currently using v12 ventus evo but since its directional tyre it's too noisy. Got a good price for re003 and considering conti mc5 which is silent. Re003 is definitely better but I'm concerned with the noise although some say it's quiet.

although mc5 is more to quiet tyre but many of my friends say it is noisy.

Hi all masters, i am now considering to change the tyre among the PS3, RE003 and V12. Can't make my mind which one to go for, Hope to hear from you guys past experience. Between i am looking for the size of 215/45/17 for my old stream. Thanks. smile.gif
*
so far,i feel the re003 wear fast(front tyre outside almost wear) and the wet grip a bit lacking to my expectation.read about few reviews of the re003 stated the same too.so its between ps3 and v12 in my opinion.personally i feel ps3 is a good tyre for handling/grip etc
