Wheel weights

[steffen707]

ya, I read them.
BUT I'm still all gooney-goo-goo over them.
Other reviews weren't as critical, and I don't have to worry about road salt.

And as badly as I may be judged for this, I'm not worried about airing down too much as bridge expansion seams are about the worst I see.
plus that crowd that runs Mall speed bumps are too hard-core, especially right after Thanksgiving...

OH YA, I already wrote that check, they'll be delivered and sitting in the garage this week...

they do look BA!

The alloy wheel+tire+TPMS sensor+balancing weights on my Sport S JLU were 51 lbs. each.

By contrast, my 17x8.5" aftermarket wheel+35" Milestar M/T+TPMS sensor+balancing weights are 94 lbs. each.

I'm assuming the Gladiator Sport S wheels will be a little heavier since they're going to have a larger load capacity rating.

Regardless, it's a big difference when guys start going aftermarket with big tires. It's hard on everything. Suspension parts, MPGs, braking distance, trans. fluid lifespan, everything. But dang they do look good.

35's are damn heavy when trying to hoist onto spare tire carrier. Can't imagine 37's or 40's

OR cramming a 37 aired down under the truck? Bench press time.

That's when it's no longer shove it under, it's lay it down and back up the damn truck.

Brings up a good point, how is the spare held up? a little cable hoist like most trucks? can't get to the OM at work

So, if you have a 37" deflated with ratchet strap around tire, might be able to shrink it..... Hmm. Won't have to figure that out for years, lol
