Even though I'm not planning on buying new tires till next fall, I simply can't help but research and figure out what I want now .
At this time one of my front rims has damage from the previous owner so I'm not sure if I will replace all four with ITP SS112 rims, or if I can find a good used 12x6" polished aluminum SE wheel.
As fare as tires I'm dead set on Bitbull Growlers BG 2.5s but hoping not to sacrifice my current performance with extra tire or wheel weight. The idea is to keep my little 550 lively and fun. So for this I felt I needed to document my current set up's weight, height, roll out and possible future options. You can thank Ridgeway 81432 for this obsessive data collection. Think I read one too many of his posts. Lol
-Fronts, Mudlite XTR
26x9 r12 stock 6" polished aluminum rims
33.5 lbs and 25.2" tall
-Rears,
26x11 r12 stock 7.5" polished aluminum rims
38 lbs and 25.4" tall
Also have 1" billet aluminum spacers all around.
I'm guessing they add about 2 lbs to each rim?
So total is aprox 151 lbs of rotating mass and 79.8" roll out.
Three combos I'm considering, all utilizing Pitbull Growler GB 2.5s
Utilizing my current 12" stock rims with spacers.
Not sure about rim weight but research seems to suggest 6lbs fronts 7lbs rears + spacers.
-25x8 R12, 23lbs & 25x10 R12, 32 lbs I'm guessing tire height is aprox 25.5"
Total rotating mass is 144lbs, and
Aprox 80.7" roll out
Again stock wheels and spacers but with larger tires
-26x9 R12, 29lbs & 26x11 R12 37lbs
Tire height I'm guessing is near 26.5
Total 166lbs of rolling mass, and Aprox 83.2" roll out.
-Now with 12" ITP SS112 rims with 26x9 tires on all four corners. Tires weight 29lbs each, research suggests rims weight is aprox 12lbs each.
Total rolling mass 164lbs, and aprox 83.2" roll out
P.S. Just to add more data to the mix, with my current 1.5 mm shim, my initial CVT ratio is 2.7: 1
Still considering possibly a Cooper45 machined sheave in the near future. Time will tell.
