I have had a hard time finding tire weights.

If anyone knows a chart for tire weights or a brand known for it's lightness please let me know.

I'm looking for 215/35-18

thx,
Brian

 

No but I have a new set of tire for sale if you looking they are falken 215/35/18

 

Put one on a scale and let me know how much it weighs.

Please tell me what model it is also.

Are they used at all?

thx,
Brian

 

Avon Tech M500 - 22 lbs
BFGoodrich g-Force Sport - 20 lbs
BFGoodrich g-Force T/A KDW 2 - 26 lbs
Bridgestone Potenza RE750 - 22 lbs
Continental ContiExtremeContact - 21 lbs
Dunlop SP Sport FM901 - 21 lbs
Fuzion ZRi - 22 lbs
General Exclaim UHP - 18 lbs (I have these in a 215/40/17 and like them)
Kumho ECSTA MX - 19 lbs
Kumho ECSTA SPT - 20 lbs
Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 - 20 lbs
Kumho ECSTA ASX - 20 lbs
Pirelli PZero Nero M&S - 20 lbs
Sumitomo HTR+ - 20 lbs
Yokohama Parada Spec-2 - 20 lbs

 

General Exclaim UHP FTW, have those on my TC, 215/35/19 and I love them.

 

One of the nice things about the General Exclaim UHP tires (besides the low weight) is that they are relatively inexpensive. The data I posted above was from TireRack and the Generals were the second lowest priced tire there in that size. TireRack lists them as a summer only tire, but General markets them as M&S (at least in the size I am running). I have run them in the snow and found them to be more than adequate.

 

Thx so much!

I really appreciate this info and where to find tire weights.

I will get those 18 pounders.

I will post up some pics when the rims & tires come in this week!

Call Roger at TireRack 1-800-428-8355 Ext. 627
Here's what mine look like (17"s)

 

Just ordered the General Exclaim UHP locally for $86 per tire.

I looked it up on the General web site and they are closer to 19lbs but they are still the lightest.
8.6 kilograms = 18.9597545 pounds

Thx for your help and the great photos.

This is a photoshop mockup of my new rims on my xb.

 

whaler, you come to muskegon at all? I swear i've seen you driving around town.

Yeah, I'm in Muskegon quite a bit; I'm working on an old boat project at Great Lakes Marina.
Nice job on your lowering. I'm trying to come up with a lowering plan right now.

 

Well that explains me thinking I saw you. I was like "Hey! Another Scion! Holy! It has mods!

Don't see Scions around here much, and when you do they're bone stock.

I used Tein S-Techs for my lowering springs. In our club I have done 3 installs with them and it's a breeze. With stock shocks and those springs it really works well.

ok, since we are already off-topic anyway. How do you two like the S-Techs? I was leaning more toward the H-Techs or Progressive Tech. springs but am still looking for opinions.

 

Thumbs up for the S-Techs. Lower it the perfect amount in my opinion. Since, where I live I have to deal with speed bumps on a regular basis, I don't want it slammed. I scrape everywhere with my Civic >,<. S-Techs clean up that yucky fender gap great.

The car definately rides differently compared to stock suspension. Rides alot more like a sports car and I like that feeling. You don't get that bouncy bouncy ride like with stock. When you hit a bump you get 1 bounce and then you're back to smooth sailing. Yes, that bump feels stronger than stock suspension, but no bouncy bouncy!

Overall, they were cake to install, good price, and ride good.

Ditto

 

Does anyone know the weight of Falken tires? Also, does anyone know if a lighter tire = less rubber (maybe in the sidewalls) = wears quicker or the sidewall gets eggs? I have the Falken Ziex 512 which have a rubber ring that protrudes beyond the rim so that it would take a bit of curb rash before the wheel does. I thought that was a nice feature.

 

Some weights are listed at edgeracing.com. It looks like the Falken Ziex 512 are really light...not sure how that affects wear, but I'm sure it helps performance a tad.

 

Nice pic 'fuze. Can't wait to see them on in person.

 

Thanks, stanks.
