Ummm.......I'm sorry, I may not be understanding what you are asking. Are you asking if they are heavy, or if they make you tired to look at them or make your arms tired? :shrugs shoulders:

I think he means feel the tires more while turning and yes I purchased them and you can feel extra weight on the sides, but you will get used to it.

I installed a pair two weeks ago and didn't notice any difference. I like the beefy look and have got a lot of compliments.
