Default which is lighter.did I make the right choice?

I already have a pair of 275/40/17 mt drag radials mounted on zr1 that are painted black n silver.
I am about to buy some 255/50/16 mt drag radials and mount them on silver snowflakes.I know the snowflakes are about 3-6lbs lighter.

the reason I bought 16" is to hook better.

my question is which is lighter a 275/40/17mt drag radial or a 255/50/16mt drag radial.

I will have result tommorow hopefully of the weight of 2 275/40/17mt mounted on silver n black zr1,compared to 2 255/50/16mt mounted on silver snowflakes.

Just going off of pure size, the 275s seem like the obvious choice.
