Total 22lbs of extra weight I got rid of. The equivalent of a small spare tire and wheel and it is all unsprung weight. Let alone the fact that my new tires have a 50% higher treadlife rating (i.e will last 50% longer) and are better summer performance tires (shorter breaking distance, better traction and cornering). Someone needs to explain to me what is greener and safer about the RFT here.
And don't get me started on pricing...
