Wow, that white text is heavy!
I've been doing comparisons on Tire Rack, and have run into a couple oddities too. Like it shows the Falken AT3W is heavier in 225 (33) than it is in 235 (31).
It also shows the 235 Falken AT-Trails weighing in at 36 lbs,5 more than the AT3w's. Seems fishy.
As far as the stock 225 Pirelli ATR's that I have, shows them at 25. So if I go up to something around 40lbs, like the Mickey Thompsons, it would be a 60 lb difference. I can't figure out how big of a deal that is, or not...
Who out there has gone from a stock tire, like the Pirelli, and moved onto a notably heavier tire (like up around 40lb)? And how has it worked out? Any noticeable negative difference?
Faulken AT3 at the 235 size are specifically made for Ford as the OEM tire for the BS. Because if this they weigh less, are less aggressive, and result in higher mpg for which they were designed to be within spec for Ford. That’s why even the narrower 225 weighs more. It’s manufactured at a different spec to the 235 OEM Ford tire size.Wow, that white text is heavy!

I run Toyo AT3 245s and get about 20-21 mpg per the computer. Actually closer to 20 or slightly below when hand calculated.

The Mickey Thompson Baja Boss tires are pretty light and look better than all of those too, imo
They even vary on the manufacturers site unless the raised white letter really add 7 lbs to each tire. If they were gold, I'd accept it but white should not add that much.

They're 39lbs, which is 13lbs heavier than the stock Pirelli's. That said, I think I'm going to buy them soon, mainly because they look cool and all the reviews and videos I've seen rate them very highly.
Among other tires mentioned in this thread, I think only Wildpeak AT4s are heavier.

Yes, you are right. I typed this up in haste but they are fairly close in weight compared to a lot of other A/T tires. "Light" was probably the incorrect terminology. I have had them for about 26,000 miles and like them a lot. Minimal Road Noise, good wet performance, minimal wear, and aesthetically pleasing. I try to push them in every thread I see about tires
@CletusVanDam I also have the stock factory Pirelli Scorpion ATR 225/65R17 102H tires, you were right about the tire weight (some websites list incorrect weight info for that tire). Pirelli Consumer Affairs confirmed the “weight of the tire is approximately 25.22 lbs”.
Btw the rotational weight of +60lbs is large and you would notice that

Agreed. One way I deal with this, is to order just one mounted rim and tire from Tire Rack at first. Their return policy is a help in this. Then I weigh it at home and try out just one on my car for clearance and looks. That’s how I know the weight of all my wheels.

I would just get the Falken Wildpeak AT4W. Unless you go with the NIttos you aren't saving that much weight. The Falken AT4W in a 245/65/17 is 40lbs. All the ones you listed are 36lbs-40lbs. in that size.

Heavy or not, I'm getting them installed at Discount Tire on Saturday.Yes, you are right. I typed this up in haste but they are fairly close in weight compared to a lot of other A/T tires.

I'm going to keep the Pirelli's as emergency backup since they still have a lot of tread left -- but not new enough to sell.
This thread got derailed from OP wanting to know about light AT tires, to suggestions about 39lb Mickey Thompson's and 40lb AT4's.
