How is calling a 35 lbs tire a silly statement. Yes some use heavy tires like say the rear tire on the Porsche 918 spyder but still. It is well known that the gen 5 Camaro performance capability is killed in corners with tires in that weight range. Keeping the total wheel package close to 50 lbs is the way to go. Z28 rim 26+ lbs, tire 28 lbs. GO figure. Ans how is a tire that weight placed on an already heavy car going to be good for performance driving, ever tried jogging in snow boots vs sneakers?
