I am looking to buy new tires and decided to keep my rims instead of selling them. Now I will be dropping the car 1" on Teins. I am looking for a lighter weight summer tire to make up for XD9s being slightly heavier than stock wheels.

Rims: F7.5/R8.5 42 offset all 4 wheels.


I am not rolled. Should I worry with 215/245 setup at all?

 

Why are you looking for lighter weight tires? That really should not be a goal. Performance should be the goal. Think about it, anybody can make a light weight tire with soft squishy sidewalls and no belt package that handles like a mom and pop tire. Just look for the best performance tire you can afford.
If I can help let me know.

 

I've seen plenty of people mention some HP Summer tire on here that is also known to be a lighter weight. Just forgot the name.

My KDW2s felt like Jello with their soft side walls and known to be on a heavier side from what I read. However my 452s felt great but not as sticky.


Honestly all I need to know is....... size wise will I be in the clear with my offsets and 215/245 setup and 1" drop.

The light weight tire question was just to see if you know of any that are also known to be good performer.
