Hey, hey!!! First of all

I'm ordering my 305's today!



I want 305's because they look SEXXXY
Apples to apples, the Michelin PSS weighs 27lbs as a 275, 28lbs for a 285, and 30 lbs for a 305. Those are some of the lightest tires you can find.

RE-11's are 31lbs for the 285 and 32lbs for the 305's

So not a WHOLE hell of a lot depending on which compound you want to stick to (no pun intended) and the tires get lighter over time! Lol
Lastly, 305/30-19's are 1.3% shorter than 275/35's so the added weight might mean a hair less because now you've geared up the car
