That's heavy.
Mine weigh 16.8lbs without tires. About 25lbs with. (17" rota subzeros)

 

those kumhos only weigh 7 lbs a tire?

 

Yeah, afraid you're mistaken here. Actually, the Kumho Ecsta 712 is a pretty heavy tire in general. I believe it is 21 pounds alone, so your setup is about 38 pounds per corner. Hey, what a coincidence! Ragejed pulls up the exact same figures...

I'd say 32-33 pounds total per corner is pretty good. Any less than that, and you're doing really well. My old 16" setup was 29 something pounds total per corner. Really made a difference.

 

i just put those tires on my car..and they arenot 21 lbs..i know that for sure...

 

yes tires weight 20-21 pounds(17") know for fact.....I weighed them(call me psycho, but every pound counts, especially when its rotating weight!)

haha

 

I'd say thats quite heavy, however the looks may be worth the added weight. And which are you really after. Looks, speed, or a happy somewhere in the middle
