24 pounds I have two sets that replace my 2 sets of runflats I sold.Better ride less noise plus the huge weight savings since it's rotating weight.

I run the PS2's on my Z06, & I was thinking of running them on my C6 as they will really be an improvement vs the R/F's. They were an improvement over the Non R/F supercar tires-(Performance wise).
I didn't realize they were that much lighter than the R/F tires

Thanks for the info
