just a post from the newell site 3 yr tires????????

[freewill2008]

We probably have the lightest '84 FC on the planet. The scale weight
of the front axle is just over 9,000 pounds. We use Michelin 11x22.5
tires with a load capacity of about 12,000 pounds for the pair.

Dunno where 480 pounds came from, but it sounds like a typo.
