Lol!

Well... I originally ordered the new 285/35/19 MT ET streets SS to run on my Nismo wheels. After waiting for two months, with no shipment because MT said that tire was still under testing/development - and not for sale yet, I ordered the 305/30/19 ET Street SS tires. When they arrived, I nearly threw my back out dragging them into the garage. These tires were freaking heavy! I pulled out the scale, and they were 39 lbs each!

So, knowing that wont work due to rotating weight, I ordered the 285/18 MT ET SS tire that is 30 lbs!
A whopping 9 pounds lighter!

So, then I ordered the PF01 10.5"x 18" wheels with the 38 mm offset (21 lbs) that centers the tire in the wheel opening. So the 285/18 MT with the 18x10.5 PF01 wheel is 51 lbs.

The water on the track made it spin. On a good track or a good road, the 285/18 MT does bog the engine just a tad.
