Madarmour Neutral Newbie April 6, 2002 Share April 6, 2002 9kg for 18"................that's quite light! Good..............now you have both the shape you wanted and the lightness to go with it! End up quite nicely, right? ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie April 6, 2002 Share April 6, 2002 Yah, I think you can forget about the ST115. A lot of disappointed users! CSC2 may give you the quietness. Actually, if you're not about to fly through corners, Pirelli 6000 offers a comfortable and quiet ride! Decide how you want to drive your car and then look for the tyres that suit your style! Remember, performance (high traction with superb cornering abilities) does not go hand in hand with comfort and quiteness. A compromise is what you can best hope for!

Madarmour Neutral Newbie April 6, 2002 Share April 6, 2002 At 9kgs, it's already lighter than my stock 16" (10.5kg)! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie April 6, 2002 Share April 6, 2002 That's great! Ur stock wheels are Speedline right? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie April 6, 2002 Share April 6, 2002 Yup, they are Speedlines. You mean 10.5kg is good meh? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie April 6, 2002 Share April 6, 2002 I think my OEM 16s are heavier....never weighed them before selling them off. The spare steel 16" is 17kg with 205/50R16 Michelins thought Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madarmour Neutral Newbie April 7, 2002 Share April 7, 2002 I'll try to measure the weight of my tyres next time and see how heavy they are. Can't seem to find a 'tyre weight guide' in the net. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie April 7, 2002 Share April 7, 2002 By pure estimation a 215/45/17 tire weights around >5kg Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
WaLau Neutral Newbie April 8, 2002 Share April 8, 2002 By pure estimation a 215/45/17 tire weights around >5kg err... think a 195/55R15 tyre already weight abt 8-9 kg, weight them personally lsst time (Falken and Goodyear) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie April 8, 2002 Share April 8, 2002 Wow, then a 17" tire will be in excess of 10+kg! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alff76 Neutral Newbie April 8, 2002 Share April 8, 2002 Well if 17" tires are around 10kgs i guess there's not too much point comparing a 8kg rim to a 10kg rim......... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparetyre Neutral Newbie April 8, 2002 Share April 8, 2002 Hi TB, Just a stupid question ...... Which tyre is heavier: a 215/45/R17 tyre or a 205/50/R16 tyre or a 195/60/R15 tyre? (Assumption: all tyres are of the same make and model) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie April 8, 2002 Share April 8, 2002 True, but the overall weight of the tire and rim combo plays a significant role in the unsprung weight of the car. Light unsprung aids better inital launching response but high speed road holding may suffer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbobrick Neutral Newbie April 8, 2002 Share April 8, 2002 Donno siah [angelic] One day perhaps we should bring a weighing machine to Stamford and sample some tires? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huggable Clutched April 9, 2002 Share April 9, 2002 Doc, you can look up this page. Click on the "wheels" button to load the list of wheel weights! http://www.wheelweights.net/ I'll try to measure the weight of my tyres next time and see how heavy they are. Can't seem to find a 'tyre weight guide' in the net. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
