Looks like an incredible tire Bill. Too bad they don't do it in a 225-245/ 16 combo.

Anyone have weights on the Victor Racers?

225/ 265 16"?

It just so happens I have a pair of 225/50 16 Victoracers sitting in my basement, still banded as received from Tire Rack. The UPS label states 57 lbs, my bathroom scale weighs them as 50.5 lbs. These are not shaved.

For what it is worth, I am seriously thinking of selling this pair of tires, as I will not be able to use them before next June at the earliest.

For what it's worth, I just picked up a second set of polished Cup IIs with Victoracrers on them, was going to use them on the track car, but found a set of Fikse's instead.

I ended up pulling the painted/coated Cup IIs with Pilot SXs off the 84 and put the Victoracers on.

I didn't weigh them, but they are considerably heavier than the Pilots. This is just me picking up wheels, but it was very noticable.

That said, when these things heat up... wooohoooooooo!
