Tires came in, waiting on wheels for Monday. Even to the naked eye I can see the difference in the width of the nittos and the toyos. 12.5 vs 11.5 and you can tell.
But they are going on slightly wider wheels so maybe they will fill out once they get mounted.
The real story here is they are P metric so a lot less stiff. Final weight tallies are in too:
Old set up-
LT295/55/20: 73lbs
SS wheels: 40lbs est.
Total: 113 lbs.
New setup-
P285/70/17: 48 lbs
17x9 Racelines: 25 lbs
Total: 73 lbs
So that's a difference of 40 lbs per wheel for a total of 160lbs of unsprung weight reduction. Should help the little 4.8 a good bit
live from the gutter trash.
