What exact tire are you referring to? Tires have different weights. But the more important point here is that all of this doesn't make a damn bit of difference on a street car. jay fishbein wallingfo

However, even that is not REALLY what you are after. Problem is that the wire wheels also suffer from more weight in the parts mounted to the car. The splines on the hubs contribute additional unspr

I've never really understood the effects of 'sprung' vs. 'unsrpung' weight. Is there a magic ratio which one should aspire to achieve? How do changes effect car handling? Perhaps an engineering type

Perhaps the simplest way to look at it is to think about what happens when your suspension reacts to a bump in the road: It is pushed upward, against the resistance of the spring, and at a rate (the

One of the easiest ways to view it is by thinking of a bicycle. The sprung weight can be thought of as the frame of the bike. Unsprung weight would be the wheels of the bicycle. The lighter the wheel
