Anyone ever did a comparison on say like a BFG,TOYO,NITTO, GOODYEAR? I'd like to keep that in mind when I buy my tires . I'm not going for the biggest I can get under it with a 2"level just the best of both worlds. Tire weight chart anyone?

 

Pretty easy to just check the specs out on the mfg websites. Pick a size and check it out.

 

You wouldn't state the obvious right? Hell that's why I come to these forums to find quick easy attainable info? NEXT

 

It would've have been quicker just to look at the manufacturers' website. Expressway Ford is 100% correct.

That way you can compare all the different brands and sizes you want.

Basically you do the work rather than have someone just retype it all for you.

Sorry to be rude, but you were a bit harsh with ExpresswayFord.

 

Sorry guys , I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings. I didn't think it was a dumb question after reading through a lot of the topics on the forum. Normally it looks like people chime in and say" yeah I found that the toyos are a bit heavier "or the nittos are good and I ordered them" but I guess most would just go about there ways and questions and figure it out themselves without posting it. In the end don't you think there is some relevance in rotating mass and fuel economy? But I'll keep that to myself.

 

i usually use tirerack.com if you hit the specs link they have the tire weights listed for each size, plus they sell so many different brands you dont need to search 50 different websites.

 

This is what I do. Check tire rack(which sometimes can be wrong tho) then if I can't find it or want to confirm the info I'll go to the manufacturer website

 

It is the tire circumference or diameter that is more important than the tire weight. Compare the stock value with what you are considering. The larger than stock that you go to, the more you lose acceleration.

 

X3. TireRack makes it easy as not all MFG's post the tire weights (at least that I have been able to find).

That is only half the picture and has to do with gearing. The other half and arguably more important is unsprung weight.

 

Weight is a HUGE factor as well! The weight differences from a stock size to a 33"-34" can be as much as 50ish pounds which affects ALOT!
