The waffles without a tire weigh 12.5 lbs. Didn't have a tire on one to see what the total was. It will vary a bit by tire I would imagine.

And the correct answer is 32 lbs for a mounted Sumitomo HTR200 205/60R13 on the factory plus/cross style aluminum alloys.

I know cause i just shipped four of them today

Each mounted tire and wheel weighed 32 lbs before packaging!

Now if i was motivated i would weigh my Konigs and Dunlops to see the difference
