Tire Weight
Who knows where I can find the weights of different tires. For example, what does a 35" Bogger weigh? I checked the Interco website for this particulare tire and could not find a weight.

Solid evidence I don't have but it's around 60 lbs I think.
Primary rig is Green Thunder:
95' F-150 XLT 4x4, 302, 5 spd, MSD 6A, Flowmaster American Thunder Exhaust, Sunroof, Clear corners w/ Diamond headlights, CD player with 2 10" subs and some 32" BFG Muds
.
That's it for mods now, saving for a Stang. Check out my Gallery for a look-see.

The tire weights are really hard for the manufacturers to post because they vary so much. I don't know the exact weights, but the 10 ply steel belted 38" Swampers I had on 16.5x9.75 aluminum wheels weigh alot more than my 44" Dick Cepek 6 ply on 16.5x12 Weld wheels.

That might be because you can spin the 38s faster than the 35s in mud at the same RPM.

Tire Weight
All season I have been racing with my 35s at two different tracks. I run 35X15X15 TSL Swampers on 15X10" wheels up front and 16/35-15 Boggers on 15X14 wheels on the back. I have consistently run in the low 5s at both tracks. Well, Sat. night I didn't feel like changing tires, so I left my 38s on and I got into the high 4s. The track we ran Sat. night has the lightest mud of the two. I've been thinking ever since that probably three factors came into play; 1, the 38s must be lighter 2, I can turn them up faster because they get less traction 3, more speed at same engine rpm.

I highly doubt the 38s are lighter than the 35s. I think the two major players are traction from the tread and the thing i said "higher speed at same RPM".
