How much does the stock 78 spare weigh?
195-80R15. It feels to me like it's almost as heavy as the stock 255-60-15s on the car, despite the fact the rim is 3" narrower and there's a lot less rubber!
Any clues? 35-40?

I took mine out yesterday. But it's too dirty to put on a scale! My rear end is sitting a bit higher now, though.
By the way, the tire is a 195-80D15. Bias-ply piece of junk intended to get you 50 miles at 50 mph.
