So I don't have to go searching on every manufacture website, what are some of the well known lighter tires? Thanks!

BF Goodrich and Cooper tires are on the lighter side, as well as Dick Cepek and Mickey Thompson (made by Cooper). Nitto and Toyo are HEAVY (but awesome). Not sure about Goodyear.

315/70/17 (34"+) Goodyear Duratrac weighed out at 60lbs for me, which is probably the lightest tire in that range. Great tires too.

Did you run the 315/70/17 duratrac's on stock suspension? I'm getting wheels with 4.50 backspacing and I'm want to mount that size tire on the wheels a week or so before I pit on a teraflex 2.5 bb lift... Would that size tire rub at all with just daily driving?
