I know this should probably be in the wheels and tires section but i figured i would get a better response here. Like the title says what are the lightest skinnies tires that you can drive on the street and are NOT track only...include everything that you can thanks

what do they weigh the rims i got now are the convos with some 185/65/15 and they weigh in at a huge 29lb...i know the convos themselves weight about 9 lbs, so i am looking for a streetable tire what weighs less...my dad has some generic 165/65/15 but i heard that these are going to be hard to find...correct me if i am wrong...and he believes his weighed around ~24-25

I just figured it was the lack of tread that made them unsafe.
Can I turtle out to the local track on them?
