    Does anyone know how much weight per wheel I gained going from 2016 Stock TRD Sport Rim and Toyo A30 tires to TRD Matte Black rim and BFG KO2 265/70/17 C rated?

    I thought I heard someone say the TRD rims are lighter that the stock ones. I know I gained weight from the tire change.

    Thank ya.

    I am in your boat. I bought my wheels in 17 x 8 +10 and they are 30# each. Now shopping for tires-street tires for this 2wd-and would like to maintain similar weight of wheels/tires. Let me know if you find the weight of these. Been looking for months. Sears has a killer deal on Uniroyal Laredos now which I have bought before. 265/70-17 for $117 each. Just put set on kids suv for $80 each. Not bad for decent 60,000 mile tires. Really want 275/65-17 but not many quality tires available in that size but even street tires that size have 9"+ of tread width.

    I know about them. Sweet tires but I only use my truck on-road so don't need that tread and weight. Have no desire to spend over $220 per tire for aggressive off road tires. I do like the higher load of a c tire but def don't want the weight of an e rated tire. That tire is really the only available quality tire in that size. Cooper and Khumo are the only other "name" brands in that size. Bites. I think that is the perfect size for these.

    That is an excellent price. Just looked at pepboys.com but just don't need off road tires.
