Tire weight difference??
Can someone here tell me for fact the weight difference between the stock run flats and other tires the same size, such as the PS2s , which I'm looking to get soon. I've heard as much as 8lbs a tire is lost for replacing the run flats. Thats alot of rolling resistance.Thanks for any help. BTW, Xstang has been a fountain of information lately, THANKS!

According to Tirerack.com:
PS2: 24 lbs fr - 28 lbs r
F1 SC: 28 lbs fr - 33 lbs rr
F1 GS-2: 29 lbs fr - 35 lbs rr
So, 7 lbs on the rears for base and F55 cars. 5 lbs vs. Z-51. Other brands might even be lighter. Yokohama's maybe?
Edit: Yokohama's are 23 lbs fr - 31 lbs rr.
