Default Wheel weight ccw 14 & bfgoodrich rival s - video

I was thinking to myself as I hoisted these suckers onto my car for tomorrow, that, man these are heavy. So I weighed them. Here ya go.




The rims are 10" front & 12" rear.

All the weight is from the rubber. The Rival S 335/30 ZR18 weighs 32lbs!

Yes, not a low weight tire.

Sounds grippy. How does it drive on the street? I'm curious if the front tires make the car darty by wanting to follow every groove in the road.

It's good on the street, not like a slick. I take them off as soon as I get home from the event.

Sounds about right...I think the ALMS wheel/tire combo was around 46lb front and 48lbs rear.. big tires on those things too.

Think about that everytime they come in for a pit stop and the guys are throwing them on and off

MY back feels the difference with these bad boys, but I am liking the tire for cam-s autox.

Good so far, but I do not street drive them except back & forth to events.
