[QUOTE="SilverBolt, post: 1440509, member: 765"] Performance loss do to tire change can also be attributed to rolling resistance. If you lose 10 lbs/wheel and add back 6-8 lbs/tire you are basically back to stock performance if the tire tread is the same width and level of aggressiveness. When most upgrade tires they go to a wider and more aggressive tread. Those two characteristics can eat up on road performance and economy. As others have stated 10lbs/wheel on a 6000 lb truck isn't going to help/hurt much. [/QUOTE]
