Lightest possible 37'' Tire Combo

Im going to go in the garage right now and get to the bottom of this.

Ok here it is.

I weighted the tire on this bathroom scale. Looks like 100 exactly.

If you are just joining us, its a-

Weld Racing t58 17x8.5
BFG Goodrich KM2 37x12.5r17

So they ended up being closer than we thought.

This is a dirty tire tho. Im not sure how many oz. of road grime or dirt are on it. But whatever. 100lbs.

I'm more comfortable believing a 5ish pound difference than a 10 pound difference. 5 pounds is a lot to shave off of a wheel and keep it's strength.

keep in mind, as the wheels spin they get even heavier.

Objects spinning gain mass. This is the basis of orbit, and a reason why you should always sacrifice style for weight.

Well I think those Weld wheels have both the style and weight advantage. I suppose style is personal and I love my wheels, but I don't think anyone can argue those welds aren't great looking! And they are 5ish pounds lighter than my forged aluminum babies.
