For example, the Continental ExtremeContact DW would result in a weight savings of 2 pounds, a difference of 14 pounds.

edit: I wonder if these tires would still fit on the stock rims with the BMW Performance Suspension installed...
yeah I realize they're a bit wider than the stock fitment, but I think the improvement in grip over-shadows the increase in weight.
