Supra ST Myster Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 Where abouts in wcombe are you mate, as live there also. i use to have mania pacifics on my black car and when they were first fitted anything about 80 the vibration was terrible, i had to go to them and they took all tyres off and re balanced them and it was fine after that.

MR SUPRA T Posted July 7, 2004 Author Share Posted July 7, 2004 6 speed manual i think they did red and silver in manuals on uk spec very limited no of these will be manual.

Green Peace Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 Hi and welcome mate. I had the Pacifics. I encountered the same problem and thought it was a manufacturing fault on the wheels. Though a trip to a 'GOOD' tyre fitter and there arn't very many! will sort this out. Micheldever Tyres in Micheldever Hampshire will be worth a trip...its amazing how many tyre fitters cant balance and align wheels properly, and its no good going back to the them as if they cant do a proper job the first time, there is no hope! also worth getting them to re torque the nuts on the suspension arms (especially if you have uprated suspension) Tyre pressures and uneven wear could cause this too I guess. One trip to Micheldever (who are used to working on high performance cars) will make your dreams come true...and they are very resonable on prices. Pacifics are great wheels, and they really suit the Supra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
