The 5 oz was to correct the effects of the bent rim. I removed the tire from the rim and put the spare on that rim. None of my road tires were over 3 oz total.

These are not H rated tires. I fill them to where they ride firm but not harsh and have better rolling resistance. I may raise the pressure a bit and see if the rolling resistance improves. The mileage is definitely down on this tank, but we were making a lot of short trips, it's colder, and we brought home a load of feed.
The car doesn't roll as easily. We could tell that right away. I want to be clear, we were not shopping for lrr tires. We were looking for traction/safety. We have yet to spin a tire on the new ones.
