good weight for tires ?

Have my eyes on these here. From what I've read here, they should fit.
My question is; whats a good weight for 31" tires? 37lbs seems a little heavy. I keep reading to find a set thats not too heavy, so whats a good target weight ?

 

They may rub a bit with a lift depending on wheel offset and backspacing. I believe the factory 15 inch wheels are 7 inches wide and have a +45 offset. I run a Level 8 Guardian wheel can't remember the exact specs but the offset I believe is +14. I'll check what they are and add it in a bit.

Just regear the rear end to 4.10 and use an in-line calibrator for the speedometer and odometer corrections. If you run 245/75R16 tires you will be within 1% accuracy for the speedometer and odometer if you use 4.10 gears.

 

They are 16x8.5 with a +18 offset. Can not find the backspacing.

 

Backspacing should be

.5(wheel width) + offset + .5" for the lip of the wheel
.5(8.5")+18mm+.5"
5.45" BS

I never considered tire weight though when I bought mine.

 

Honestly looks pretty close to correct. I was too lazy to pull a chart.

 

As for tire weight my Toyo AT 2 are 34 pounds. Weight is not the issue the final drive ratio after the bigger tires is about 12.6 percent lower and makes it a pain to accelerate.

The taller rubber makes the truck act like it has 3.13:1 rear gears.

 

Sorry dude I thought it you were the OP lol

 

Lol. Your good. I'm just trying to pass on info to the OP. He is on the right track lifting and adding taller rubber though.
