of the Yokohama Geolander A/T's. I read some incorrect information on the weight of the following tires via a common tire website; I have since revisited an actual tire store and have the correct information for anyone that's curious.

LT265/75 R16's were labeled as 50#/per tire; however, their true weight is only 39.1#/tire

P265/70 R16's were labeled as 38#/tire; but they only weigh 31#/tire

I know a lot of people have been interested in these tires, so I wanted to be sure to correct the mis-information previously written by myself.

Yeah, the sad thing is, is that particular tire website is posting a lot of incorrect information on the weight of tires. Would never have known if I didn't think to ask the store yesterday.

How's that TB doing? Bet you're loving the throttle response?

I wouldn't doubt it. And this isn't the 1st time I've heard of them having incorrect information listed. It's a shame though that they can't be honest - they have spectacular prices listed, but it's the shipping that kills you.
