Does the weight of a tire matter? My son's Jeep will be on the road nearly always. (Kids his generation like the look of a Jeep, but aren't really into off roading, maybe an occasional drive on a beach.) The Falken AT3Ws are five pounds a tire less than a Michelin LT X MS2 (42 lbs vs 47 lbs.) It seems that five pounds on each wheel would greatly reduce the unsprung to sprung weight ratio and maybe give a little smoother ride than the current see-saw .
