#28619, "Wheel and tires"




          

ok, I am running cooper zeon zx2 tires 225/55/16 or something like that mounted on 16x7 rota gt3 wheels, the whole setup only weight 19lbs, but i want lighter tires, my dad works for cooper and I can get any coopers i want for free, but zeons are reallly heavy! dose anyone know anything about falkens? I really like the tread patterns and hear they are really light...any comments?

btw i just ordered the tokiko blues suspension kit, jw

That sounds pretty light to me. 19lbs for the whole setup.

I believe that my wheels are 17-18lbs apiece, and I have no idea how much my tires weigh.

my friend was dating a model for falken just so he could get the tires for his acura. he loves those. says its good grip. idk about the weight though. if u want to drop weight, do with skinnier ones, like instead of 45 tall get 35s or 30 if u can. i live in NY and our roads dont let me go lower than the 35s ive got on my summer wheels. its not cali.

I just wish my car was as fast as it was loud. people tell me i should use my sub to push it, it might go faster.
