How light are they. I'm betting under 18 lbs?

I've seen everything from 14.5 to 15 lbs., depending on the accuracy of the scale used, I guess?? [dunno]

In any case, about as light as you are going to get in a wheel that size to fit our rides' screwy bolt pattern, and without having to do the whole hub re-drill procedure for the much loved, ubiquitous 4x100 pattern. [wink] [thumb]

Could you get a side profile of the wheel? I want to see how the tire sits on the wheel

Looks good. How is the ride and performance, with the size changes? Enjoy!
The ride performance is better than what I previously had. Which were 205/40/17.Main reason I switched it up was for a nicer ride feel. But I also went from H&R lowering springs to coilovers too lol.

Besides that one Vredestein tire (which looks like a sedate, low performance touring tire by comparison), THAT is the only single 215/45-16 all season rated tire I have ever found yet. [thumb]

Let us know how these perform in the cold dry, wet (any temp), and warm spring summer seasons.
I will update, currently it's cold. Should warm up soon. Just reinstalled my stage 2 tune. So I'll go romp on it a bit and see how the tires feel. As of right now with limited driving it feels good and I haven't noticed the tires being loud or anything.
