Reply With QuoteI have a scale that I can use here. I'll bring a wheel in tomorrow.
I read the Hankook thread. It looks like everyone is running to the other side of the ship, now. Poor Toyo -- life on top is fleeting.
hey Jerrett
after you mount your new Dunlops how about weighing them at the USPS and/or UPS
Shaved to 4/32” Toyo R1R mounted on Enki RPF1 would be 27.23.
Shaved to 4/32” Hankook R3S mounted on Rota Slipstreams weigh 33.2, or 4.97 more
a lot

195/50 Star Specs shaved to 5/32 on 7.5 Sliptreams filled to ~42 PSI (I overfill prior to events and adjust before first run), it came to 29.9 on the Fedex scale.
195/50 R1Rs shaved to 3/32 on 7.5 Sliptreams filled to ~40 PSI came to 30.75 on the Fedex scale.
The Dunlop that I pulled off of the wheels weighed 15.40, so it looks like the wheels weigh about 14.5 lbs. Yikes! I really need to get some RPF1s.
4/32" shave Toyos on RFP1 wheels were 27.23or 3.5 lbs less than on your Rotas
the RFP1 on USPS scales are 9.625#
the 7.5" 949 wheels at supposedly 12.1# that were going to be available in mid-July are now November, if that happens then
Steve E pointed out that a 12 week delay would be Nov 2008
so forget anything Emilio says
RPF1s are the way to go for 7", still looking for something reasonable in 7.5"
