Tire Rack reports the 175/65R14 M.D. weighs 18 lbs.
The 165/65R14 RE92's are 13 lbs.
The 145/65R15 EP's are 12 lbs.
I'm going to stick to the 2 mentioned in the title 
Thank you for your opinion anyhow, Chrysler Kid! |
FWIW I weighed brand new RE92s on a postage scale, they were 12lbs 7.5oz. I also used them on a first gen dodge neon with some weight reduction, I barely got 30k miles out of them. I'm not sure what the insights usually get and they did make the car roll really easily, but that's not a good value.
