WOW! 95.5 lbs. I just dropped the spare tire to pull the tailpipes to powder coat the tips. Lifting the spare with one hand while attempting to get the mount perch pushed up through the center of the wheel is not something I would ever want to do on the side of the road! I also took this opportunity to balance the spare as well.

From my research the stock rim is 31.5# and BFG tire is 65#

BFG does not publish the weight of the OEM C rated 315 (at least that I have seen). The E rated version is 65 pounds. The stock C rated tire should be considerably lighter.

I would guess the stock non beadlock combo weighs 87 pounds (31+56).

The beadlocks weigh in around 36-37 (not sure about the newest version, they look a little lighter).

Surprisingly it's about the same. We have it at 64. Even weirder Toyo's new C rated 315 MT weighs 80 but the E rated weighs 76

Theres an easier way than lifting it to push the carrier through the center. Next time keep lowering the line and remove from the top.

I let out all the cable, how would I remove it from the top? I probably should have looked in the manual, there is no doubt that I am missing something here.
