Default Wheel,tire,rotor weight comparisons

For what its worth, here are the factory to after market weights of my wheel-tire-rotor combinations.
Front: 245-40 18x81/2 48 1/2 lbs plus Z51 rotor 22 lbs = 70 1/2 total lbs. Replaced with 275-35 18x10 CCW/Mich Pilot Sport 52 Lbs plus Eradisport Plus2 rotors 17 lbs = 69 lbs total. Reduced 1 lb, gained 1 1/2of wheel and tire. Not to bad.
Rear: 285-35 19x10 58 lbs plus Z51 rotor 21 1/2 lbs = 79 1/2 lbs total. Replaced with 345-30 19/13 CCW/Mich Pilot Sport 62 lbs plus 14" Eradisport Plus2 rotor 19 lbs = 81 lbs total. Gain of 1 1/2 lbs but wheel/tire combo increased 3 inches plus larger rear rotor. A fair trade!

Default weights

Were the numbers you used for what you took off worn verse what you put on new??? it's nice to see your attention to rotating weights... You will be amazed when the numbers are lighter...

Thanks for that... I'm considering swapping rotors and I was curious to the actual weight savings...
