I explained this to DEpointfive0 a week ago. Tire weight variance is pretty significant depending on tire and what you are looking for. Some people go lighter wheels to run wider tires gaining the weight they just shaved from lighter wheels.In the end, you can't go everything light. you just need a good compromise of the 2. I saved about 6lbs per corner from wheel weight just to add back about 4lbs per tire for a wider setup. Traction on its own is worth it even if I didn't lose much weight. Just like I'd still rather put a set of RE-11s on even though they are 3 lbs heavier per corner then the P.S.S. but track wise the RE-11's way outperform the super sports. Road wise, the michelins win.
