About two years ago I decided it was time to upgrade to some light 17s, and some good sticky tires. Shortly after this decision was made, I was given a 17" aluminum spare tire from an '07 Silverado as partial payment for helping a friend with his car.
It was a good looking wheel, and when I got it home on a scale, I found it only weighed 21 lbs. Exactly what I was looking for.
Two years later, I finally got the cash to find 3 more wheels, and get some 275/60/17 Hankook Ventus ST RH06.
These tires are 1.5" shorter than my old tires, and the whole combo is 12 lbs. lighter. I'm hoping that both the decrease in diameter, and rotating weight will get me a 12.99 once the good air comes back around. Time will tell.
Oh, and the truck looks like less of a clusterfucked piece of shit now, too.
