Default Another skinny question

My weld draglights with pep boy tires come in at 26# right now. (~10# for the rims and ~16# for the tires). What do the Hoosier fronts, or Morroso DS2 fronts come in at? 8# per tire or something?

or

What do your skinnies come in at with light weight tires?

Moroso DS2 in a 26X4.5X15 weight 12lbs
Very light and I just bought and mounted a set.

I had 165's that were 15 each.
So I saved 6lbs total of rolling weight
It all adds up Terry.

My 26x4.5-15 ET Fronts weigh in at 12lbs

According to the Jegs catalog, the Hoosier 26x4.5-15 tires weigh 11lbs

Jegs is wrong I weighed them all
DS2 is the lightest.But not by much
Less than a lb.

Thanks gang! I love to save rotating weight, but 6# doesn't seem worth it to me (for the money). I guess I'll put that cash towards an ATI superdamper.

Thanks again,
Terry

Terry,

I will weigh my Goodyear front runners and weld prostars when I get home tonight.

Later,
Coach
