At Surfers, you'd be able to have a loan of a set of fish weighing scales: put a fish-head on one side + a tail on the other > take a pic?

225 x 45 x 17 road tyre pref new and performance (excluding 4wd offroad), friken any will do if you know one please post and say what type it is. I'm not after gram weights nearest kilo will do.

around 10-11kg for a Michelin Pilot Sport, more for ur tyres like Potenza's etc which have thicker sidewall design.

i weighed my R32 gtr rims 225x50x16 a while ago and from memory was 16kg

Thanks guys , reason I'm looking is I just weighed one of my OE stocky 17x7.5 wheels with Nexen 3000 225x 45x 17s @ about 75% tread and came up with 22 and a bit kgs I'm a bit horrified as that seems to me to be a bit of a boat anchor, I expected around the 18kg mark so I'm trying to sus whether it's the rim or the tyre---(or a combo of both) before I go rushin of and replacing what may be perfectly good rims.

Expect you could have kilos in variation depending on construction. Near new, semi sporting Bridgestone off a jap import, about 12.7kg.

did you strip your balance weights off? what pressure were you running in the tyre? were the scales digital or analogue? calibrated? did you have the centre caps on? Valve stem cap? did you add in the weights of all your wheel nuts? did you clean your wheels and tyres, brake dust and rocks in the tyres would add to the weight. All your tyres come from the same factory at the same time from the same machine with the same amount of rubber on each one?

This question has soooooo many variables that it's pointless asking how much it weighs.

yeh that tells u nothing, only way to measure them is to strip them and measure them separately.

and yes, 11kg for a 17x7.5 would be a boat anchor.

Thanks again everyone, I've just phoned Kuhmo and a KU36 ECSTA XS 235 x 45 x 17 is 9.9 (and a bit) kgs so figuring 11kg to be an approx on the Nexens that are on the car now that makes my OE rims abouts 11 kg and maybe a bit so not exactly lightweight unless of course the Nexens are 10 ton Tessys masquerading as semi performance tyres .
