Tire weights... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I'm trying to figure out what the weight of tires are, but no company lists them.

I'd like to know what something like a 35"-38" Super Swamper weighs, just an approximation.

I'll guess 60 lbs....just a guess though tire only no rim

Hmmm... The whole point of this is that I was thinking about the possibilities of running big rig tires. I thought that a big swamper would be about the same... guess not. A big rig tire is around 100-120lbs.

I think a 38 is about 90 pounds.

=/ I'd need to upgrade a lot of stuff to run big rig tires then, it just wouldn't be worth it...

Does anyone know of any good road tires that are bigger than 35" and not weigh a million pounds?

I used to run some bias ply 35 inch Buckshots that weighed about 120 lbs with steel rims, they didn't wear the greatest though, soft rubber compound...but great for mudding

Well if that's the case... then I could go with a big rig tire... I figure I'm not really gonna use a truck for off road stuff since there's no place in MA to do that, it'd just be for bombing around having fun. And what better tires to do that on than big rig tires, they wear good and long, got like 10-15 plys, and are nice and quiet.
