Front skinnies (tires and rims)
Hey all. I've never purchased front skinny (rims/tires) before. I have a 2010 Camaro SS with most basic bolt-ons and BMR trailing arms/toe rods. Planning on putting stock size Drag Radials in back on stock rims. I've read that the weight of each stock tire and wheel is 62lbs. From what I've researched most 28" tall skinny front tires are around 25lbs. From what I've researched most 17x5 skinny rims are around 15lbs. So looks like about a 20lb saving in weight per front tire. I also realize that they reduce tire rolling resistance etc...
My question is: Is it worth putting out the money for these to help reduce your E.T in the 1/4 mile? How much would these reduce your 1/4 mile E.T? |
