I am considering to change my 2.5 years tyres to Michelin 185/65HR15 XM1 MCL.
The workshop is also asking me to change my camber nut to something adjustable.

Any comment about Michelin 185/65HR15 XM1 MCL and adjustable camber nut?

This Thai made tyre has excellent grip initially, but hardens (despite being parked in multistorey car pk all the time & unexposed to the elements) after just 25,000km and grip is non existent thereafter.

Very disappointing for such a branded and an expensive tyre compared to its competitors.

Speed & Power is nothing when you can't control it.

Hi bro...Do u always enter bend at highspeed or into cupping of bend cos if not no point changing the camber nut as u will be wasting ur money.Basically orig camber nut is remove n then install some other brands to open the camber degree wider so that ur car will b better in handling corners but will also used up ur tire 1st.Hope this information helps.Cheers...

Thanks for the comments.
I was told that the adjustable camber nut allow them to do wheel alignment. They say mine is to straight 0", 0" or something.
