Question re: Yukon AT4 stock tire & wheel weight

[SC27]

Does anyone know what the OEM Rims and Tires weigh and at what point any change tire + wheel weight has an impact on performance/fuel economy?

Thanks!

I'm not sure about the specifics you're asking about but when we had nitto ridge grapplers put on our yukon I noticed a slight decrease in fuel milage. It's been 1 mpg less but as the engine gets more miles on it the mileage seems to actually be improving. Did not change the factory rims, just tires

Thanks @R32driver I would expect decrease in mileage assuming heavier setups but good to know it may not be anything too wild

my best guess without pulling a wheel off and grabbing the bathroom scale is about 60-70lbs. OE wheels usually are not light, and big light truck tires range from 35- 45lbs depending on brand and specifics.

Appreciate the feedback Reddevil96

If you go online and look up the stock tire you should be able to find the tire weight of the stock tires as a starting point. I know the stock Bridgestone 275/50/22 are about 42lbs a piece without the wheel. I know that won't compare to the AT4 tire given the heavier tread and larger side wall but is a good reference.
