and 58 lbs of rotating weight is more than 58lbs of stationary weight, that could be close to a tenth, plus the reduced tread contact on the front tires helps on less resistance as well.... Good to know, maybe I'll one day weigh my Nova's wheels...

Convo Pro wheel & tire weights: 15x7.5 w/ 28x10 ET Drag 35 lbs.
15x10 w/ 28x11 ET Street 33 lbs.
The ET streets are a little worn. That might account for the less weight. ALl the rubber from the tire is still stick inside my wheel wells.
