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.

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