Just mounted some Toyo RA1s on some lightweight wheels and I was impressed how light it was compared to Falkens on the same wheels.

Anybody know their exact weight (and the weight of the Falkens for that matter)?

 

205-50-15 @ 20lbs

I wieghed mine and I think they were 19.5 for 205-50/15... But I could be completely wrong, it's been a while and a lot of beers since

I agree tho... they are light!

Cool, thanks guys.
It looks like a savings of almost 3lbs of unsprung weight per corner.

 

yeah, the azenis are solid blocks of rubber.

the width of the tire is also somewhat skewed....205mm azenis turns out to be more like 213mm~ or so.

I don't know why there isn't a universal standard that things have to be basically the same size as advertised. It's annoying sometimes.

You're making a big mistake, for example, if you assume that you can fit 225 Hoosiers in your fenders just because your 225 Toyos worked just fine.

I agree with you George and it annoys me all the time... why can't 225 mean 225 and 205 mean 205? Why is that so hard?
