| Senior - BHPian | Finally have the weight diff between steel & alloy wheels. Ha, took me exactly 2 years to weigh the alloy wheel on my car to know the weight difference between stock and alloy wheels of the same rim size and same rubber.  Was trying to rotate the tyres during the weekend and got a weighing scale along. It helped that I have alloys only on the 4 running wheels, with the spare tyre still retaining the stock steel rims. Stock 13" steel rims with stock 165/80 tyre : 14kgs 13" Alloys with stock 165/80 tyres ---------: 12kgs That is a whopping 8kg reduction in unsprung weight for 4 wheels.  Though I am not sure about the benefits this translates into. Anyone ? |

| Re: Whats the weight of your wheel-tyre combo?? I was so curious after going through this thread that I went out, bought a weighing machine and checked the weights of the wheels I have.  Adding to this thread the information I found out. Details of my Swift VXi's steel, 15" and my latest 17" wheels. Stock Wheels: Tyre Make/Model - JK Tornado Tyre Size - 165/80-R14 Wheel Make/Model - Swift stock wheels Wheel Type (Alloy, Steel etc) - Steel Wheel Width - 5J Recomended tyre pressure - 33psi Combined weight of each tyre/wheel - 14.1 Kg (Total weight for 4 wheels = 56.4 Kg) 15" Alloys: Tyre Make/Model - Bridgestone Turanza ER-60 Tyre Size - 195/60-R15 Wheel Make/Model - Elegant (ELG) Wheel Type (Alloy, Steel etc) - Alloy Wheel Width - 7J Recomended tyre pressure - 28psi Combined weight of each tyre/wheel - 16.1 Kg (Total weight for 4 wheels = 64.4 Kg) 17" Alloys: Tyre Make/Model - Yokohama A-Drive R1 Tyre Size - 205/45-R17 Wheel Make/Model - Lenso Samurai SC-04 Wheel Type (Alloy, Steel etc) - Alloy Wheel Width - 7J Recomended tyre pressure - 28psi Combined weight of each tyre/wheel - 18.2 Kg (Total weight for 4 wheels = 72.8 Kg) So, my present alloy & tyre combination (17") is 4.1 Kg heavier at each wheel than the stock wheel & tyre combination, making it 16.4 Kg heavier overall for a set of 4 wheels. |

I would like to make a correction to one particular detail in my previous post. The stock wheel (rim+tyre) weight of the Swift (old) is 14.8 kg not 14.1 kg. I had weighed a almost bald tyre previously. With a brand new JK Tornado 165/80-R14 tyre, it's 14.8 kg. So goandude, your wheel combo is 0.5 kg heavier than the stock. Some latest updates: Tyre Make/Model - Kumho Ecsta Tyre Size - 205/50-R16 Wheel Make/Model - Lenso Raiden PD6 (16") Wheel Type (Alloy, Steel etc) - Alloy Wheel Width - 7J and 8J Recommended tyre pressure - 30psi Combined weight of each tyre/wheel - 7J: 16.6 kg 8J: 17 kg Tyre Make/Model - Yokohama ES100 Tyre Size - 195/60-R15 Wheel Make/Model - Lenso NX (15") Wheel Type (Alloy, Steel etc) - Alloy Wheel Width - 6.5J Recommended tyre pressure - 30psi Combined weight of each tyre/wheel - 15.5 kg Tyre Make/Model - Yokohama ES100 Tyre Size - 195/60-R15 Wheel Make/Model - Lenso Raiden PD1 (15") Wheel Type (Alloy, Steel etc) - Alloy Wheel Width - 7J Recommended tyre pressure - 30psi Combined weight of each tyre/wheel - 15.7 kg Last edited by Dolphin : 21st October 2011 at 22:48.
