So I decided to hold off on 5.13 gears for now and do RE 3.5 with 35" tires and Tom Woods drive shafts. To minimize tire weight I am considering the Interco Super Swamper SSR in a 35x10.50R17LT. I want to see how much weight I am saving by not going with the BFG KM2 in a 35x12.50R17/D.

SSR 35x10.50R17LT - 73 pounds
KM2 35x12.50R17/D - anybody know the weight without the wheels?
stock Rubicon tires - anybody know the weight without the wheels?

Ohh and I am keeping my stock wheels (and using 1 1/4" spacers of course).

 

Here is what the SSRs in size 35x10.50R17 look like on a non-Jeep rig. I think they would look good on a JK. But I hear the SSRs may be generally heavier than other brands so I am really curious to find out how much if at all I am saving weightwise.





p.s.- I know most of you guys out there like fat wide tires. I am curious about the skinny ones.

 

Stock rubi wheels are right about 50 lbs(no rim) if I remember correctly. beena while since i was looking at that.

 

FYI... BFG KM2 35X12.50r17 are 66.81 pounds... that is lighter than the skinnier SSR 35x10.50r17 73 pounds.
