Weight of stock tires...

[bottleworks]

I found a good deal for 11 brand new 9.00x20 NDTs for $35 each. I have to drive 8 hours each way to pick them up and I am trying to get an idea if I am going to bring the trailer. Does anyone have any idea on How much each tire weighs?

I had 11 1100 20 tires on my 5x8 lawnmower trailer no problem. Shouldn't be a problem in a pickup.

It would have to be less expensive to freight 2 pallets than to drive a 1000mi. Even if you time has no value what the cost per mi? A trucker only has to cover it one way. Your have to justify deadheading there.

The tires feel like they weigh 50 pounds each or so. Where are you getting them?
Any other sizes available?

Do you need all 11 or do you have access to more (at that price)?

Just asking......

Well round trip with gas @ $2.60/gal, it should cost about $160 in gas... So under $200 to move 11 tires 986 miles. I don't know if he has any other sizes, however, I will ask when I pick them up. Do I need all 11?...Well, right now I don't need any. I am just stocking up on them for when I wear my current tires out. Once I install my A/C system, I plan on driving it every non raining day.

How many on road miles do the NDT's get on average?

How many on road miles do the NDT's get on average?

That depends on:
1) tire age. See manuf. date or DOT Nº, some don't even show it. The older the rubber the faster they wear. Once I had "brand new" ones (US brand) on the front, they went at 1/8" every 500 miles! Than I had a fresh set of 10 9.00x20s, made in Korea!, drove them 3000 miles and you could barely notice any wear!
2) how fast you drive.
3) Load.
4) Ambient temperature.
3)Lock out hubs or not.

Don't expect to much from these old takeouts. Average I would say at best 5000 at front, 15K for the rears (!?)
