Not exact but both 15x10 alumastars are about the same as one pro star.

I'm going to add a bit to this too, because I want to know. What EXACTLY is the weight difference between the MOROSO front runner tires and a set of 165/85/15 street front tires. Those are the 2 options you have when running skinnies. I'm thinking the MOROSO tires aren't a belted radial and are probably worth a few lbs, but again, noone lists the weights. Some day I'm going to raid the summit warehouse with a scale and just weigh everything, cause this **** is important to us!

With the moroso weighing 12 pounds and the m/t sportsman front 8 ply weighing 19 pounds which would be the most comparable to actually weighing a 165 radial itself, would be a 7 pound per tire difference, adding the steel belts shouldn't add more than a pound so I would figure about 8-9 pounds per tire.
