Ah, now that's interesting

I weighed my old Vitaras spare some years back (31"x10.5"x15" M/T tyre on a 15" 10j alloy) and it was pretty much 30 Kgs Been looking at those 4x4 bike carriers that fit over the spare tyre. They take two bikes up to 30 Kgs and I was just curious as to how much more my spare now weighs with a 255/85/16 M/T tyre on it over a standard tyre

Found this site that gives the weights of all the tyres you can think of, but alas not Insa Turbos

So a 265/70/16 Bridgestone Dueler H/T D689 a very standard fitment to a road going Collie weighs in at 16.78Kgs with an alloy at 12.5Kgs that's an approximate standard total wheel and tyre weight of around 30Kgs with the valve, air and balance weights

A BFG KM2 255/85/16, as I now have fitted comes in at 24.95Kgs with alloy that's around 38Kgs with the valve, air and balance weights, plus 8Kgs over standard

Here's a few that I've extrapilated, interesting when you start to look at them

BFG A/T 265/70/16 22.23Kgs - 265/75/16 24.49Kgs - 285/75/16 26.76Kgs

GGAT2 265/70/16 19.96Kgs - 265/75/16 25.85Kgs - 285/75/16 27.67Kgs

BFG KM2 265/75/16 24.04Kgs - 285/75/16 26.76Kgs - 255/85/16 24.95Kgs

I have only just got that I genuinely thought you were talking about your Insa's

I shook my head when you replied Steve. I thought good grief, I can't believe he missed that.

I knew you weren't just being polite, that's for sure.
