Anyone know how heavy a 35" BFG Muddie on a 15x8 Sunny is?
Trying to get a price on shipping 4 to Cairns but need to know the weight.

Thats interesting as I thought my old 285/75R16 BFG's on 16x8 ROH rims where around the 45kg mark.

Last time I checked air didn't weigh anything- if anything wouldn't the tyre be lighter especially if the air is heated from driving (warm air rises)?
correct me if I'm wrong

I'm surprised it adds a full half kilo, but of course compressed air weighs more than air at atmospheric pressure. It's denser.

I stand corrected

Interesting read- but according to this fella it is unlikely that the difference would be 500grams- probably closer to 90-120 grams
