just back from tyre shop...
and got the scales out...I am amazed...
first thing is how heavy a tyre is...the 4.7kg new rims now weigh 12.9kg with the 195/50/15 tyres!
but to compare, the OZ 15" wheels on the same scales weigh 11.1kg...WITHOUT a tyre!!!!!
so I am saving roughly 6kg a corner on unsprung weight...
win of the month!
