Default Car weighed after MWC 9 inch

With the 10 bolt my car weighed 3460, full weight t-top w/ nothing taken out like seats, spare tire with UMI short TA w/ DSL, stock aluminum DS, Nitto DRs, stock panhard bar & 1/8 tank of gas. Today I drove it on the scales, same place I had it weighed before but today this is whats changed:

MWC 9 inch, 31 spline, nodular case, back brace, billet posi rear, MWC long TA w/ DSL, UMI adjustable panhard bar, PST steel DS, MT DRs, back seats removed, just over 1/4 tank of gas. Well it weighed the same, 3460. I thought how could that be? Not sure what the back seats weigh but it cant be more than 20-30 lbs & I had more gas than before so that about makes up for the seats missing. I was forgetting something, the skinny front tires, 15 inch Weld Prostars instead of the chrome ZR1s. So what would it weigh if I put the ZR1s back on the front?

Too many variables at play. Not to mention the chance of the scale not being frequently calibrated can skew data.

I can tell you that those chrome zr1s are gonna be considerably heavier than the skinnies.

Well duh thats obvious. After doing a search the chrome ZR1 with a tire weighs 52 lb, prostars weigh 21 lbs with tire so about 60 lbs more total. I figured I added about 50 lbs with the 9 inch, looks like a lil more but some of that is from the steel DS so looks like it would be around 3520.
