Not quite related but I have the 20" SPORT rims in the same matte graphite color. Anyone know if Ford has a color code for that color? I have a few scratches I need to touch up and also want to paint my FORD emblems in the same color.

I was thinking of replacing my stock wranglers with these exact generals, mostly due to the light weight and wanting 275/70r18. This is a little concerning.

There are essentially no SL tires in this size.

I agree. Obviously tires will have a little difference/variance but this was a lot. The good thing is it sounds like the tire MFG’s will replace if they are outside the acceptable tolerance.

I called my local tire shop and they said to bring them over so they can check them out. I have to decide if it’s worth my time to take them over there, check them, then submit it to General tire for replacement or just run them as is.

That's a 57 lb tire but General's website says it's a 46 lb tire. Where's the other 11 lbs?

According to my scale, I have the extra 11 pounds. :cool:

Stupid question: are the markings on all 4 tires EXACTLY the same? I.e. if they're very similar models, maybe even the shipping department gets confused from time to time.

Yes I checked they are all 116S (SL).

In that case, I would bring them to a tire place and have them look at the one with the aberrant weight. Something is wrong.

This is exactly what I'm looking to do, for the exact same reasons, plus powder coating the 18" Sports black.

maybe Ford gets cheap, deficient tires from General that they can’t sell to tire suppliers ?

I have 35” Toyos with aftermarket 17s and they only weigh 82lbs. My stock Raptor setup was 98lbs.

Just weighed one of my recently acquired General Grabber ATX 275/70R18 SL tires. 47.6 lb

Ford F-150 2022 F-150 Tremor wheel/tire combined weight = 77 - 84.2 lbs F9912938-E606-47E6-BA8E-B5E51861278B

I weighed the 21-22 machined wheels with the stock wranglers. These rims are the same as tremor (just different color).

The 15 lb difference between the wranglers and OPs 116 sl grabbers is not making sense.

The average weight of @Ctimrun's wheel/tire combo was ~81 lbs. Your example above appears to be ~6 lbs heavier. Unsure if the difference is due to the tire, the scale or a combination of the two.

The wheels and tires I weighed were under 70 lbs.
