    Found this
    Weight of 17" oem wheel | PriusChat

    24.3 lbs for the Gen 3 17" alloys. That's quite a bit more than the Gen 2's 15" (I think it was 14.2 lbs).

    Also, you weighed the PiP's rims yourself!! :LOL:

    Gen 2 16" alloys: 15.2 lbs

    Gen 3 15" lightweight alloys: 16.3 lbs

    Gen 3 PiP 15" alloys: 18.3 lbs

    Had to drive through a couple of inches of snow this morning with my somewhat worn, but still "legal" Bridgestone Duelers HP (OEM for a 2019 Subaru Outback), as I took my snow tires off at the end of March. No issues, but the temp was hovering around 31F, so not too bad.

    Would have felt more comfortable with CrossClimates,
