vs.

OEM Potenza

Rear - 32lbs
Front - 28lbs

Very substantial weight savings. 12lbs saved from the driven axle is fantastic - I've always loved feeling the difference in performance with lightweight wheels and tires. My 350Z had Pilot Sports + XXR 518 wheels that weighed 20lbs each (overall tire + rim combo was close to 14lbs lighter per wheel), great difference over stock - broke traction effortlessly, but the rear end just felt so alive and light.

10lbs saved from the front axle will improve steering feedback, handling and breaking. Simply can't wait to get these on.
