weight of wheels and tires
« on: October 10, 2010, 08:25:09 PM »
In case anyone is wondering

I have a new (nubs still on) 245/75/16 goodyear mt/r on a 16x8 rubi wheel.

I weighed it on my scale tonight and it is 78 lbs!!!  Pretty crazy considering that I think the OEM spare tire carrier is rated to hold 50lbs.

I just installed 33x13.5 toyo muds on a set of mt classic II rims 15x10's and it weighed 93lbs on the same scale.  93 is a lot, but I extremely surprised how heavy the OEM Moabs and stock tires are.

My last Jeep (03 Rubi) wore 35" BFG AT's on 15x8 AR Baja rims and came in at a hefty 69 lbs per corner. Imagine my surprise when the 35's came in lighter than stock.
