- 'that wasn't the pattern'? Not sure what your point is here? The Amazon was the same pattern as the Macho, and I had a set of Greenway Machos on my old Bobtail that weren't a whole lot better at speed, though to be fair that could have been the Bobtail, I never did run it on expensive tyres!
Clearly it wasn't the pattern that was the problem (it is, after all, based on the Yokohama Geolandar M/T) - my point was simply that they were remoulds, and they weren't very stable at speed. IMHO the problem with remoulds is that you simply can't always be sure of the quality. In my case, replacing the tyres with Pirellis cured my wheel vibration problems.

i thought you were saying it was the tread pattern that caused the vibrations...from my experience the machos seem to be pretty good remoulds. mine have suffered a lot of abuse and they seem resistant to falling apart unlike other cheap MT's (my mate had a set of diamond back lookalikes of which 2 fell apart within a few thousand miles  :shock: ) and i dont have any vibration problems with them at all, unlike the tyres i use on my other RRC...michelin synchrones and they vibrate like mad even though they were balanced last week (again!)
