I went to Tire Rack and for example took the 15" Borbet rims(several
choices) at 18.5 pounds then picked there recommended size tire 195/60/R15"
tires in lets say in a BridgeStone Potenza (Because I have a brother that
works for BridgeStone and can get a very big discount) at around 21 to 22
pounds which comes to around 40 plus pounds.
