What are those ? Airless tires ?

Nevermind - I researched and found that Michelin is selling them only for skidder-loaders.

Aw man, don't post that... it's embarrassing.

I can't wait to see what I'm running when the temps start dropping.

Now you got my attention. Please give me some numbers on the light Wheels. I'm really interrested what light Wheels means. I have been searching for light Wheels but haven't encountered a better price and weight ratio then the Enkei RP-F1 Wheels.

I have a set of 10x19 with 295/30-19 weight of total 22.5kg

vs

the oem total weight of 23.5kg

This is a big difference
