[V8Vairs] <VV> Weight of a V-8 Corvair

[GnKHOFFMAN at aol.com]

All:

I weighed the Radial TAs and Early Ralley Steel wheels this  evening.  Rear 
wheel and tire, inflated weighed 48 lbs ; a front tire/wheel  weighed 47 
lbs.  Race trim (Bassett wheels and Hoosier tires) would save  significant 
weight off the 2944 lbs.
