I am planning to wrap 215/40/17's on a set of S-lites that I am
hoping to be able to obtain in the next couple of days. I have
two sources right now.

Anyway, I know the s-lites are even heavier than my R90's but
like the design and would like to wrap some summer non-runflats
on them for fun. :smile:

Anyone know the weight of the ES100 or Spec2's in the 215/40/17
size? I might go Falkens, not sure yet.

no big hurry, but if you know, please let me know.

Thanks. :smile:

 

Ken,

There is something very, very wrong with being concerned over tire weight when you'll be running S-lites! hehehe

On a less sarcastic note, you might be able to find the info on the tirerack website checking under "Specs" for each tire. Hope this helps...

marty- hahaha, yah, I know...but there's not much other wheels that I like
out there for the look I am going for. Its either too ricy, or super expensive, or
wrong offset.

thanks for the info at tirerack. will check it out! :smile:

 

Ken,

Actually there's no weight info there, but try contacting Alex at the TireRack. He's always been very helpful to us MINI folks!

I don't know if edgeracing stocks the spec 2 but they list the ES100. Toyo tires are pretty light. I think the T1-S is just under 20lbs for 215/45/17.

found that es100 weighs 23.1Lbs and the Toyos are 20.1 lbs. (215/45/17)

 

meanboy- you're right, the T1's are probably the lightest, BUT hardest to
get a hold of around my area unless special ordered.

marty- yah, I was looking all over Tirerack, no weight info. hummm...

 

As obie would say...Luke, use the Internet!

 

yah, I kinda like to get tires locally unless ordered as a set from the Tirerack. :smile:

 

That's cool. I've never ordered from the tirerack but I will if they have what I need.

So they should stock Toyos..and soon!

 

The 215/40-17 Yokohama AVS ES100 weighs 21.8 lb:

215/40 meets gross axel weight requirments, but I would not advise it, as you give up reserve of about 80 lbs a corner - Wich is no biggie, if you dont drive the car!
