Nitto Gen weight
Has anyone ever weight their Nitto Gen tires before installation?
Not sure if these tires are same weight as Hankook V12.
Thanks,
-Mike

Size matters.

This site has weights of both Nitto and Hankook.

Wow, it lists nitto gen as 30 lbs. I don't think it's accurate.

You meant 215/45/17?
If that is the case, the Nitto Gen tire is really light. It is only 18.5 lbs and Tire rack's listing Hancook V12 for 22 lbs for that size.
