    Doubt this will help.....but while at Sebring this weekend I stumbled across weight number notes I made in the past for the American Racer tires vs. the Hoosiers - AR front weighed 2 pounds more, rears were the same

    Default Hoosier FC Spec Bias Tire

    I emailed Hoosier asking what the weights (fronts, rears, wet, dry) are. When they reply I'll post what they said.

    Hi Dave,
    I received this from Hoosier early today, and also received the delta numbers I was looking for from another source.
    Thx
