Default 70lbs/each tires

Who's running 70lbs tires on either a 5.0 with 3.55 gears or an ecoboost with 3.31 gears?

Thanks!

Is there an actual question as to performance or what? I have cooper st maxx in 295/70/18 roughly weights 103 lbs a corner. Noticed a little big of loss on acceleration and more noticeable on braking. I just bought some raptor wheels and tires that weight roughly 10 lbs a corner lighter and I didn't notice much. Swapped my cooper's back on, and with a tune I think it may be a bit quicker than stock, other than up a steep pass

Yes, 70lbs. The mpg did take about a 3 to 4 mpg hit but i don't care, looks made up the difference. I did notice a slight difference in performance not so much in the git up and go, as the kickdown to 5th from 6th when going on a fairly good incline. I know, if i got a tuner it would more than likely fix the 6th to 5th. I am very pleased with Nitto's they are an awesome tire even when they are half gone they still look excellent
They also perform well in all conditions and balance well!!
