tire weight

i know the brakes pretty much suck on 2nd gen. tacomas. but are there any other disadvantages of running a heavy tire (61 lbs). im looking to run an m/t. the bfg m/t's weigh 50 lbs vs the firestone m/t's weighing 61 lbs. thanx for all your expert advice

 

Just for the record, i dont have a problem with the brakes on the Taco. I've stopped faster in cars but for a truck this size i'm pretty happy with them. Although i probabaly will put performance pads and disks on when its time to change them out. you can never stop too fast (unless you hit a wall....)

 

firestone weight 61lbs wow... iam getting some remington mud brutes 51lbs..

also weight is different from load range D and E.. E's will be heaveyer...

stick with D's for our trucks..

 

i have seach high and low all over the internet for the wieght of specific tires where the hell do you guys find the weight of tires?

 

I have 285 BFG KM2 and i upgraded to SS brake lines and ceramic pads and i can stop my truck quick!

 

Go to Tirerack.com and then when you select what tire you want to check out, click on "Specs" and they list every possible weight and dimension for every size that particular tire comes in.

 

the worst thing about a heavy tire is mpg and accelerating
