lightest 285 75 16

been researching for a while, seems like the 17” variant can be had pretty light.

for 16” i’m not seeing much on the lighter side, like C rating.

and advice?

 

Well, you didn’t specify, so the lightest would be a passenger tire.

 

Now that I got that out of my system, I bumped up to 17’s and dropped ~8lbs per tire AND gained an inch of diameter.
LT265/75r16 Load Range E -> LT255/75R17 Load Range C

 

well yeah, i know that. there was only 1-p285 75 16, and that was a terra grappler. they haven’t made it in a long time.
everything i see is all E rated.

 

what about the firestone destination XT? it’s claimed to be 51lbs... anyone have experience with those?

 

I put this list together mainly for myself, since I've also been considering 285/75/16's... but have been largely turned off by the weight, since (like many of us) I also do a lot of on-road driving. I didn't include anything in this list that weighs 60 lbs or more.

I ended up going with the Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003. It's E rated, mud terrain, and comes in at only 60.2 lbs per tire.
