I just tried to figure out how much power it takes to get my tires up to 65 mph and was blown away at the result. Does it really take 65 hp to get four 75 lb wheels up to 65 mph??? No wonder the truck is slower with these heavy digs compared to the light trailer tires that were on it before!
I forgot the brakes at 30 lbs each.
I love the way they carry weight and grab at the ground, but holy moly batman, 65 hp?!?!?! I only have 150 hp to begin with!!!!
Does anyone know if this is right? Most of the weight is near the outside, since they are armored tires and have 1" thick sidewalls. No idea how thick the tread portion is, but i can air the tires down to nothing and they still look like they are "properly" inflated.
If anyone can give me some insight (haha) on this, go for it. I guess it comes out to about 400 lbs of wheel/brakes to get to 65 mph.
