37x12.50x17=72lbs
35x12.50x18=67lbs
37x12.50x18=72lbs

Goodyear M/T-
315/75r16=62lbs
305/70r17=65lbs
37x12.50x17=82lbs

Yokohama Geolander M/T-
35x12.50x15=59lbs
305/70r16=57lbs
315/75r16=65lbs

Kuhmo M/T-
35x12.50x15=65lbs
35x12.50x18=74lbs

Dunlop Radial Mud rover-
315/75r16=62lbs
35x12.50x17=56lbs

Pro Comp M/T-
315/75r16=61lbs
35x12.50x17=63.5lbs
37x12.50x17=84.4lbs

Mickey Thompson Claw-
35x12.50x15=64lbs

Toyo Open Country M/T-
315/75r16=76lbs
35x12.50x17=83lbs
35x12.50x18=81lbs
37x13.50x17=93lbs
37x13.50x18=93lbs

For comparison, I think the T/A KM DT in 255/75-17 (stock) is 49lbs.

good luck

the stock Rubi rim and tire weighs just about enough to be a pain to line up on the spare carrier lol thats about all i know bout that
I'd love to have a good weight on that stock Rubi combo if you're still runnin' it and you have it down and don't mind stepping on a scale with it.

I havent been able to find weights ob ANY nitto tires. I think the Mud Grapplers are so heavy that they dont want to broadcast it.
