Good choice.. winter tires seem to be the suck at dynoing.

Ps. My 275's might have possibly come in today...and they might possibly be getting mounted today at 4:30 and on the car...hehehe;)

Winter tires seem to suck up about 10-15whp, so yea, def get the summers on there.

Star Specs are heavy tires, especially that large of ones. Compare the weights on TireRack vs. your snow tires. Good call on getting it all setup in summer trim for dynoing though.

Monster truck ftw! :score009:

Yup, gonna look monster truckish for sure, lol. But at least i will get some grip back:)

I looked at the weights of rims and tires on tire rack i think i picked up 2lbs per tire/wheel (since rpf1's saved me some).

Gonna have to go 2 piece rotors I guess to balance that shit out;)

But my winter tires are heavy too.

Not sure if my bathroom scale would be accurate but maybe I'll weigh them both for giggles. The Winters are 245's since I didn't go smaller than stock and the new rims are lighter.

TireRack lists the weight for most tires and wheel weights are easy enough to find.

Well I think my rims are 2 lbs lighter than stock...so I picked up 4 lbs per rim/tire over my OEM summer tire/wheel.

Kind of a lot, but who knows, I guess we will see what happens next week. Star specs are 32lbs per tire, stock advans are 26 and my winter are 25 (thought they were heavy but for sure not, lol).

Maybe I will have to move it up a notch...been eyeballing this for next winter:) http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/ams-mitsubishi-lancer-evolution-x-cz4a-turbo-kit.html

The Summer combination came out to 1lb lighter since the stock rims are 22lbs. The new lug nuts are also a lot lighter (enough to make you wonder how they keep the wheel on).
