Anybody able to tell me the weight of a jeep alloy wheel complete with tyre please?

Get the jeep weighed, take off a wheel and re-weigh the car. The difference is the answer. Simples..

At least it don't need taxing. Google should be the answer I`m sure.

Have you not got luggage or bathroom scales or anything? If not just get a small child and a see saw and see if they balance then ask the child how heavy they are. Works in theory...

Take the tread depth ( 7mm ) multiply it by the tyre size and knock of 10, Now this will tell you absolutey nothing smile

I`m still looking for a small child to weigh, think I`d be safer with a dog as the cops might arrest me.

From this site, if it helps:
http://www.ebay.com/gds/Jeep-Wrangler-CJ-Tire-and-Wheel-Advisor-/10000000009592654/g.html

An “average” 33 inch tire weighs about 55 pounds. A stock 225/75-15 tire weighs 28 pounds. Aftermarket steel wheels are usually heavier and stronger than the stock wheels. In averaging a few aftermarket 15x10 inch steel wheels, we’ll use 26 pounds as a number versus about 16 for the stock wheel. So, where the stock wheel and tire combo weighed 44 pounds, a 33 on a 15x10 steel is 81 pounds. An “average” cast alloy wheel (forged are a bit lighter) come in at 16 pounds, dropping the upgraded tire and wheel back down to 71 pounds.
