Default Tire Weight

Does anyone know how I can find out how much tires weigh? The specs are not on the manufacturers website.

Thanks

tirerack.com has the weight of most of their tires listed but they don't have much selection in size 35 inches and over.

Well I cant decide between a few tires, so I am over analyzing everything hopeing something will sway me.

Things like: KM2's run small, MT/R k's are hard to balance, Duratrac's are not a MT, Toyo and Nitto's are Load E, Rolling Resistance, etc, etc

JP magazine just did a small write up on this. It's in there less is more article about returning a lifted jeep back to stock. Mtr-k were the lightest I think.

I run 40" MTR/Kevlar's and they balanced just fine. They are Zeroed out and I've got them mounted on beadlocks.
