That's a 57 lb tire but General's website says it's a 46 lb tire. Where's the other 11 lbs?

Ford F-150 2022 F-150 Tremor wheel/tire combined weight = 77 - 84.2 lbs 1673373266708

That‘s a great question! I was getting ready to post that same thing. General claims the LT version of this tire weighs 61 lbs, not too much different from the actual SL weight.

General Grabber ATX is 59 lbs according to General's site. OPs measurements look pretty close.

So I just took a more expensive bathroom scale out to the shop to double check the weight, it weighed exactly the same 84.2 lbs. Here is where it gets pretty interesting. I weighed all 4 of the wheels/tires on both scales. Keep in mind none of these has anymore than a couple ounces of balance weights stuck to them.

After confirming the one in the photo above was in fact 84.2 lbs, I moved on to the other 3. They were 82 lbs, 81 lbs, and 77 lbs confirmed on both scales. Will add photos to confirm both scales were reading the same….

Someone in my group for my Powerboost recommended Nokian Outpost tires, I checked them out on their website and they are pretty lightweight, my only question was should I get the SL or the heavier load range, it's the same range as stock and it's ready to tow 11,000 lb so I'm thinking I'm going to just go with the SL and hope I can get some MPG gains from the lighter tire. Right now I just have the Secretary Hankooks.

What do those disparities work out to in kilograms?

I assume a pound or two variation is normal, but 7 seems excessive.

Totally agree. Gonna run ‘em anyway.
I think weighing your tires and wheels is an interesting idea and your results were surprising. There were a few other people on other forums who also weighed their tires and rims, and saw larger than expected variations. One person found a +8% variation, and contacted the tire manufacturer:

Just got a reply from Hankook:

I just got a set of Ventus R-S3's 245/40/17. One tire weight is 25lb and another tire is 26.5lb I am very concerned with that much of a variation in weight. I would like to know what the max tire weight variation is.

Thanks for the question. I contacting our R&D center to get the following information for that tire:

Cured tire spec weight is approximately 24.5 lbs.
Weight tolerance is +/- 3% = 23.8 lbs to 25.2 lbs.

Sincerely,

You measure a 24% difference between the spec and your heaviest tire. Maybe all-terrain tires have a larger tolerance, but +24% seems excessive. I would assume the heaviest tire is likely way out of spec or that spec wrong.

I'd be curious as to what the owner of the Hankook tires did in the post above. His one tire was 26.5 yet the manufacturer says that 25.2 should be the max.

This is a great post. I never thought to have my tires weighed..
