Anyone know what the tire weight of the Kumho 711 205/40/17 are?

I just weighted my Rim and that tire today 41lbs.

That is the problem, I can't find anything on ICW 077M wheel weight.

I just found the Komho tire weight 20lbs

:eek: My wheels weight 21lbs each :eek:

Dayum, time to get lighter ones.

Yeah, but when I hit those unavoidable pot holes at 50+ these don't bend up:D just the komho sidewalls get bubbles/knots.

heres some i found
Falken Ziex 512 - 19.8 lbs
Toyo T1-S - 20.1 lbs
Kumho Ecsta MX - 21.0 lbs
Nitto Neo Gen - 22.1 lbs
Dunlop FM901 - 22.3 lbs
Kumho Ecsta Supra - 23.0 lbs
Yokohama ES100 - 23.1 lbs
Falken GRB 451 - 24.3 lbs

215/45/17 tire size

Light weight tires may help in reducing unsprung weight thus improving acceleration but it also means (typically) that they have weaker side walls.
