My Ride: 2006 525xi, Premium, Adaptive Xenon, Cold Weather
Not sure if there is a topic on this already, but I've always wanted to know this and if others want that too, here's the info:
I decied to go back to my stock wheels and tires and drive them for the winter. I believe this is the 138 style factory wheel (2006 525xi) with the stock tire in 17'. While I was swapping wheels, I decied to weigh them and see how much exactly I'm gaining or saving with the Miro M6 reps (typical setup, 19' staggered with General Exclaim UHP.)
The front wheel with the tire weighed in at 48 lbs and some change. The rear was 53 and change. The stock was 51 and some ounces. So I guess the conclusion is that you'd gain weight in the rear and lose some up front if you go for the Miros...
OK, I'm done with this piece of (hopefully not useless) information... At least my curiosity is satisfied, hoping somebody else will find this useful as well.
