FireTruck 03-03-2002, 10:18 PM As above... Interested in anything from 35" to 40" I was told that the 37x12.5R15 MTR's are 94lbs... can anyone confirm this? Links etc would also work. Yes, I searched and came up with very little. Adam Ant 03-03-2002, 10:20 PM Originally posted by FireTruck As above...

Nope not 94 pound's with Steel Rim Maybe! they are Pretty light! Adam, bgreen 03-04-2002, 12:27 AM I was weighing my tires on the wife's bathroom scale just the other day. :D 38" TSL Radial for a 15" rim is aprox. 90 lbs 44" TSL for a 15" rim is aprox. 120 lbs 15x14 6 lug steel rim 36 lbs 15x12 6 lug steel rim 34 lbs 15x10 8 lug steel rim 31 lbs These weights are aproximate, as I can't confirm the accuracy of the scale I was using. TODDK 03-04-2002, 01:41 AM My 39.5 x 15 x 16.5 weigh 95 pounds a piece without cutting them. 4x4extreme 03-04-2002, 02:01 AM When i bought some 37 boggers the shipping weight was 90lbs per tire but I think they are lighter Bones 03-04-2002, 04:37 AM My 36x12.5" SX's are right at 100 pounds mounted on a 8" steel wheel. I also did it on the bathroom scale, so take it for what it's worth I guess. yjtj 03-04-2002, 05:24 AM i had asked interco the weights of these tires a while back 37/13/15bogger=77lbs 35/16/15bogger=85lbs 38.5/14.5/15tslsx=89lbs thats straight from them yjtj 03-04-2002, 10:15 AM i just had slightly used 39.5/18/15 boggers shipped to me today, they were a whopping 114lbs a piece Lance 03-04-2002, 10:18 AM I could be wrong, but I remember someone telling me 37 mtr is 75lbs. Don't quote me on this though. Ryan 03-04-2002, 11:16 AM Originally posted by Lance I could be wrong, but I remember someone telling me 37 mtr is 75lbs. Don't quote me on this though. You've been quoted:eek: :eek: :eek: :p Anyway, I thought there was a lot bigger difference between the 35x16 bogger and the 38.5x14.5 SX than just 4 lbs. Hmmmmmm... wngrog 03-04-2002, 11:56 AM Originally posted by Ryan You've been quoted:eek: :eek: :eek: :p Anyway, I thought there was a lot bigger difference between the 35x16 bogger and the 38.5x14.5 SX than just 4 lbs. Hmmmmmm... There is....BOGGERS SUCK and SX's don't :D offroadr35 03-04-2002, 12:20 PM just out of curiosity, who cares how much a tire weighs? It seems to almost be an advantage to have heavier tires as they keep the COG down. Other than spares being a pain to handle and shipping being expensive is there a reason not to want heavy tires? -Steve 4x4realm 03-04-2002, 12:27 PM My 35x14.50X15 Boggers on 15X10 Steel wheels weight 102 lb each. The wheels alown are ~ 33 lbs each GhettoRig 03-04-2002, 12:29 PM breakage... Heavier tires=more drivetrain breakage. CheaseMuddin 03-04-2002, 12:33 PM 35x12.50R15 BFG MT KMs = 59 lbs offroadr35 03-04-2002, 01:05 PM Originally posted by GhettoRig breakage... Heavier tires=more drivetrain breakage. that really isn't the case though. The weight of the tire is centered at the center of the axle, so weight doesn't have much to do with it. The radius of the tire is what will cause more drivetrain breakage. -Steve Realsquash 03-04-2002, 01:31 PM Rotating mass is a big deal if you want to get wheel speed for sand or mud. It's also a big factor on the highway, if you're into that. My 35x16x16.5 boggers were 140lbs on an eaton 16.5x12 steel rim shipped. Squash FireTruck 03-04-2002, 02:21 PM Cheers all :beer: Re: who cares about the weight... All of the reasons given were on the money. I am in Australia, so shipping weight is a BIG factor. Also run a fair amount of mud, so spinning to clear the tires is important... more weight = harder to spin offroadr35 03-04-2002, 02:40 PM cool, never thought about the mud thing. -Steve gunracer1 03-04-2002, 03:07 PM i'm running 38.5x14.5 sxs on 15x11.5 rims with rock stomper type bead locks and all i can say is they are heavy fawkin heavy when you have to pick them up Hypoid Drive 03-04-2002, 03:37 PM rep at goodyear says 67lbs on a 37!!!!!!!!!!!!!:D PJTPW 03-04-2002, 04:37 PM 42x15x15 TSL - Uncut new - 102.5 lbs on bathroom scale. Eaton 15x10" Beadlock with ring and bolts installed 32.5 lbs.

They have steel sidewalls and tread though. My 14.00x20 Michelin XL's are just fucking heavy around 200lbs I think. My custom beadlock 20" wheels are about 100lbs too. -Don CHOKEu 03-04-2002, 07:23 PM 38x12.5x15 TSL on cast alum 8" rim.... 98 lbs UZI 9mm 03-04-2002, 08:19 PM 31x10.50 MT + Aluminum 15x7 = 50 lbs.:flipoff2: (i'm actually dreading going up to 33's.... :( :D ) who cares? i care! i think my Sammy would hurt itself terminal like, if it had 100+lbs of wheel and tire at each corner:eek: offroadr35 03-04-2002, 09:07 PM Originally posted by UZI 9mm 31x10.50 MT + Aluminum 15x7 = 50 lbs.:flipoff2: (i'm actually dreading going up to 33's.... :( :D ) who cares? i care! i think my Sammy would hurt itself terminal like, if it had 100+lbs of wheel and tire at each corner:eek: like i said before, the weight itself should not contribute to driveline failure. Rather, it is the greater radius that will cause more torque and more breakage. -Steve Charles Aarons 03-04-2002, 09:25 PM Michelin 325/85R16 XML = 131 lb.
