Default Weight difference Moroso DS2's vs kumho 165 80's

Pretty new tires:

Wheel - Weld drage lite 15 X 3.5's
Old Tire - kumho 165 80 15's

The current weight of my from tire/ wheel combo is 28 lbs

Moroso ds2 - 26 X 4.5 X 15 - 13 lbs each.
kumho 165 80's - 18 lbs each
Weld drag lite 15 X 3.5's 10 lbs each

So, by switching from kumho's to ds2's I lost 5 lbs per side.

10 lbs of rotating mass gone, all off the nose
