Tire weight, not balancing

[cuban b]

Here's an odd question, is there a place to find out the weight of common tires in common sizes? Other than taking a scale to the tire shop .

I like to keep thing light in my sami to cut down on breakage. Also with a 1.3, I figure less rolling resistance = more power.

28's are light.... :greg:

yep, but they might look ridiculous on a rig that needs 35-37 inch tires .

I jumped over to www.tirerack.com and looked up the 35" krawler to see if the weight was listed. Sure is....74 lbs. It also showed the specs for additional sizes for that tire. 37" is 83 or 81 lbs depending on whether you get the groovable one, or the molded one.


Do a search by tire size, show all the tires, then click on the link for 'specs'.

here's an example of the specs you get...
