Weighed my 18" winter tire package for P3D

[bluemalibu]

Since I was putting the snows on I decided to weigh them.

These are 235/45R18 Pirelli Winter Sottozero 3 mounted on 18x8 Black Painted TRMotorsport C4 wheels.

Weight came to 44 pounds per wheel and tire.

Also weighed my stock 20" wheels and tires (with 17K miles on them) and they came to 52 Pounds!

I expected a difference but 8 pounds per is a LOT!

Strangely, I thought it would've been a bit more weight savings. I'm still happy with 8lbs. I thought the 20" wheel/tire was heavier.

Nice savings! I was looking at those C4 wheels as they were the lightest on TireRack and I could get ICE-X3s mounted up for much cheaper than TSportline was offering.

Yep I got them from tire rack...because they were lightest of the reasonably priced wheels.

Please post pics of your winter tire/wheel set on your P3D when you have the chance !!

You should benefit not only from the weight reduction, but the sprung weight and the mass being brought closer to the center of the wheel. This will help acceleration. I bet with the latest 5% power bump and this 18" setup 0 to 60 times will drop in the 2s.

Agreed, enjoy a better 0-60 on your new car at 2.99s

Yeap DragTimes got 2.99 second 0-60 on YouTube.

That was with standard 20s, and was the best of several passes. The 18s and the software bump should bring the average down hopefully to consistent 2.9 or even 2.8s!

FYI my Titan 7 forged wheels weigh 18lb 6oz. That's no tire.

Are you happy with the Titan7 wheels ?? I think about ordering a set, but Evasive only has Black and I wanted the Satin Titanium. I may just get the Black though, since they have it in stock.

Get a vbox or draggy on that car quickly! I'm sure you will see some seriously quick times!

Thanks for the photo. They look great! Looks like I'll be grabbing those before next winter.

I'm thinking about these too. Anyone have suggestions of 18-inch wheels thàt fit over performance brakes? If it were lighter or very close to this weight than the TR Motorsport, I'm interested!

Tsportline just feels a little over priced for what they are but they aren't too outrageous and they look great.

I have the 18" Titan7 T-S5 wheels and they work fine with the upgraded performance brakes. They are more expensive than the Tsportlines, but are lighter and forged. I'm happy with them so far...
