From lugging both the sets around recently they weigh about the same, give or take. I was averaging very similar MPG's with the 22's when I drove the highway miles to work.

Are you talking about your OEM wheels with the larger tires? Mine are no where near as heavy as my 305/50/20s. Plus the width is a kiler on mpg.

Yes. My rims/tires must not be as heavy as yours. I haven't had them on the scale but they seem about the same. The different tires really aren't too much wider than the other.

Ah, home.
