Tempos weigh about 2500 lbs empty. Add two guys in the front seats at 200+ lbs each and 15 gallons of gas at about 90 pounds and you have a 3000 lb unit for a typical load. Then know that 2/3 the weight of Tempos is on the front wheels and you have 1000 lbs on each front wheel, and 500 lbs on each back wheel.


I've been a gearhead since before you were swimming around in your Dad's shorts, ya punk. Put your car on a scale and get back to us.
