stock with re010 tires.

falken azenis weight.

1st comparison of the 205/50/15 azenis vs stock rims/tires.

2nd pic of comparison.

up close pic, not like many of u guys really care.

btw which side does the line face, outside or inside??

 

it's marked on the sidewall, OUTSIDE and INSIDE...line towards inside.

 

damn, cheap, sticky, and light too? good grief. my next tire...

 

Azenis are heavier than stock RE010's according to those pics. Stock weight is around 15lbs, so the azenis(22.5) + 15=37.5lbs while the stockers weigh 32.5lbs..so there is a 5lbs difference according to those scales.

oh well

 

Them's is some Dirty as Hell rims and tires man, what do you do wash once a year whether it needs it or not?

A.

 

oops i meant does the thread face toward the car or the end of the car? there is no direction arrow.

 

Rguy is right.. I just checked the Falken web site, and they list the weight for the 205/50-15 as 22.5 lbs.

22.6lbs plus about 15 lbs for the stock bare rim = 37.6 lbs total

So the Azenis are indeed 5 lbs heavier than the stock 195/55 REO10.. not too surprising given the slight increase in track.

Yep.. and I have the same bathroom scale too.. it rounds off in half-pound increments.. so there!

So you will need to run a wheel that is 10lbs heavy to have the same weight as the stock wheel/tire combo with the Azenis.

 

I wrote to a technical guy at Bridgestone and he said the 195/55/15 RE010 is 20 lbs.

Was your stock tire+rim worn? I wonder if you could wear 2-3 lbs off the tire. My worn one weighed 17.5 on my bathroom scale.

Thanks for the pix -- that Azenis is *wide*! That's no 10 mm difference. (Or the RE010 is narrow.)

 

are these non directional tires? meaning I can swap them left to right?

 

Weighing tip -- it's possible these bathroom scales are less accurate at low weights like 20 lbs, since they are for weighing adult people (or are they for kids too?). Mine wouldn't weigh the 12 lb clutch or an RE010 by itself on the scale. [too bad -- makes a nice picture]

So, it may be more accurate to weigh yourself a couple times, then weight yourself holding the tire or whatever, and compute the difference. Of course, if anyone has access to a proper calibrated scale, that would be better.

 

Well, the RE010 is a bit worn but it's obvious that the azenis weigh more.

 

Definitely -- but I'm starting to think it's more like a 2.5 lb difference, not a 5 lb difference.

 

well, its about right, since azenis is bigger tire(205/50/15 vs 195/55/15). thats the reason why its heavier.

 

That's just an excuse -- the 205/50/15 Kumho 712 is 19.7 lbs, the 195/55/15 is 19.3 lbs.

My 205/50/15 Pirelli 210A snow tire only weighed 18.0 vs 17.5 for the RE010.

 

They are not directional. Just make sure they are mountedd w/ the inside..IN and the outside..OUT...but yes you can swap them left to right just need to have them remounted. If I didnt make sense its cause I have had a few

fais

 

but the side of azenis is stiffer, right? so i can accept that 2-3 lbs difference

 

huh??? oh well, have a few more.
