I was just curious if anyone had some ballpark figures on the weights of the 16" Keystone wheels and the Goodyear Wrangler tires..

The Cragar soft 8s are 33 lbs each, and the Bridgestone KO T/As are around 40lbs each. I was just wondering if anyone knew the weight of the stock wheels/tires so I could get an idea how much heavier I'm gonna be with the steel Cragars. Depending on the difference I might fork over some extra cash to get alloy wheels..

ANY guesses or thoughts would be helpful!

Thanks!!

I can wiegh one when I get off work later tonight. I can tell you I got rid of my cragars because they weighed so much and opted for MOABs. Which were a good 10+ lbs lighter.

That would be great, thanks Dirty! Hmm powder coated black Moabs.. That might look cool. Decisions decisions....

What vehicle do we need to get MOABS from?

MOABs are the rims that come on the Wrangler Rubicon. Just a word of advice, if you are lookin to buy these used from anyone make sure they are from a TJ. The JK bolt pattern is different than the older TJs or the KJ/KKs.

Yea that's what I was looking for. Sorry I didn't clarify.

Stock Liberty 16" alloy wheels are about 17 lbs. each. The tires are about 28 lbs. each. Obviously that's 45 lbs. total.

A good aftermarket AT tire alone can weigh 40 lbs... then you ad the steel wheel which is usually 30 lbs. and you are talking a SIGNIFICANT increase in unsprung weight.

This is why after running steelies for a few years, I have now switched back to alloy wheels and I also watch the weight of the tires I purchase too.
