Default Heavy *** tires!!

Well I decided to see if I could put on some wheel spacers on my rear wheels. I had not yet taken off my wheels since I got my new Yokohama ES100's a month ago. I go and remove the wheel from the hub and damn those tires weigh way more than my Nitto R2's and Eagle F1s that I used to have on there before. I'm guessing that they are about 7-10 pounds more than my other tires used to weigh. Oh well, I can't complain to much because they are great tires and I have some other wheels for the rear to go to the track.

Yep, I have them on some chrome 17 Z06 replicas. The wheel/tire combo weighed 12 more pounds than my previous stock 16's with GSC's setup if I remember correctly. Very good tire wear thus far, I have about 14k miles on them and they still basically look new. Good handling tire on both dry and wet roads......don't hook very well at the track however. I have a Strange 12-bolt on order, so I will be investing in some DR's soon anyway.
