Does anyone know if the Bridgestone RFs weigh more than the same size Michellin PS2s?

A good place to check such things out is tirerack.com. If you go there, then "save" your car first. Then, seek info about tires or wheels--depending on what you are interested in. Usually, you can easily find the tires you are interested in and then use the "Specs" links, as I recall, to get the kind of info you are seeking.
Edit: I should have said before that I am positive that the PS2's are much lighter than the RFT's you mentioned. I wasn't sure how much lighter though.

Found it. -32lbs for non Rfs. I wonder if that will change anything.
