Lighter Tires?

[Ldub]

Anyone found a "bigger" than stock tire that is a few pounds lighter than what came stock on a 2000VX? I'd prefer an all terrain tire but even a road tire will work if it looks right. In all honesty my offroading will be minimal for now. I'm trying to increase acceleration and braking efficiency, and if I get any mpg increase, then bonus :-) I think the stockers weighed around 34lbs. Also, anyone know the stock rim weight?

thanks,
Mike

See post #9 if you don't understand Ldub's response.

Use the search function on the left side of the home page with the search criteria 'lighter rims'. A few decent threads showed up.

LOL...oh OW...

Oh Mr. MON-CHA...Don's pickin' on me again......

Maybe this'll clear things up a bit...

To me, it represents the ever present spectre of death, always lurking just behind the gossamer fabric that we perceive as reality.
I'd love to see it with little cartoon baloons over the heads of the three people...the middle dude would be like: "OH CRAP!, not THIS again."
The dude on the right would be saying: "Dammit Beavis, get your foot off my sword before I kick your arse."
The one on the left?..."Hey look...I'm side scrolling!"



Sorry for the T-J...LIGHTER TIRES!

No, the Cooper Zeon LTZ's I put on in 285/60-18 weigh 49 lbs each (which is the exact same as the Nitto Terra Grapplers in this size) vs. the 34 lb OEMs, but since I removed the back seat which weighed 65 lbs, it's basically a wash. (15 x4 =60) Yeah yeah, I know there's something about unsprung vs. sprung (?) weight that I didn't figure in my calculation there, but nonetheless, there's 65 lbs over the rear axle that's not there anymore and 15 lbs extra at the end of each axle.
