Weight Of Tires

Tires

They are round, black and full of air.  But how much do tires weigh?

The simple answer is that the weight will vary based on the types, sizes, makes, and models.

That said, a 16-inch passenger car tire will weigh around 22 pounds (9.98 kg) when new. (As a tire wears down, the weight is also reduced).

A 17-inch truck or SUV tire will weigh approximately 30 pounds (13.6 kg).

Moving up to an all-terrain or mud-terrain tire will increase the weigh further.

For example, a larger 16-inch all-terrain tire will weigh in at about 50 pounds (22.67 kg).

A 16-inch mud-terrain tire may weigh 60 pounds (27.21 kg) or more depending on the brand and model.

~ Fun Fact ~
Who produces the most tires every year? While you might answer with Michelin, Goodyear or Bridgestone among other tire makers, it’s none of them. Actually, the distinction belongs to Lego. Yes, Lego toys. The company produces over 305 million tires for its toys each year. That’s easily more than any other manufacturer.
