I can vouch that these tires are lighter than the average tire, due to a soft sidewall. Your best bet is to run the smallest wheel with the most narrow tire you can find.

Maybe some 155/ 80/13s on vx wheels. haha

How detrimental is a softer sidewall? I need something that fits Rota Slipstreams (15x6.5).
