I just weight on of mine last friday: 20 lbs w/o tire

I got 20.2lbs on each wheel with no tire. Potenzas are 23lbs so figure 43-44lbs combined.

how much do the Avon Tech M550's weigh? for 17s in 225

Per TireRack the 225/45R17 Avon Tech M550 A/S is 27lbs. That's one heavy tire.

 

[gottc?]

i think i got a weight of about 42 lbs. WITH tire

Every scale is different, especially home bathroom scales. In all actuality, my number is probably lower than a manufacturing scale would show.

A lot of tires remember that stickier tires, especially those with stiff sidewalls are going to be heavier, there are trade offs to everything.

My Kumho Ecsta MX are much more high performance than the Avon 550 and they only weigh 23lbs in a 245/40R17. I believe the Toyo T1 Lance is using is around 20-21lbs for a 245/40R17. That seems to me like the more high performance tires are lighter and not heavier at least in these cases.

Yours are high performance. Avons are all-seasons.

Right, he said stickier tires would be heavier. I was just saying that isn't true. High performance tires are going to be a lot stickier than an all season.

Check out my Kuhmo Ecsta SPTs, i can find weight specs but i think they are heavier than the stock tires by a little.

Not sure which size you have but the 215/45 is 22lbs and the 225/45 is 24lbs per TireRack.
