Yes, and this is considered "unsprung weight" which has a huge effect on handling and suspension & braking performance as well.

IDK what you are talking about. Tirerack.com has the 225/45/17 PS4S listed at 21lbs; a one pound increase over the stock primacys.

Wonder if that's a misprint considering that the 225/50 is almost 3 lbs lighter than the 225/45.

This michelin table make no sense it's a mistake for sure.
The 225/45/17 can't be heavier thant the 225/50/17. It got the same width, but less height.
This can be confirmed by looking at the same size in 18", in that case the 225/50/18 is heavier than th 225/45/18

Called Michelin re: 225/45ZR17 Pilot Sport 4S at 26.85 pounds, they say "It's 26.85", then online chat with Michelin: "It's 26.85". Call Tire Rack, Felix, extension 4497, goes the extra mile and has one weighed... correct weight is 21.0. I purchased and confirm:

Next to an original 215/45R17 Primacy HP:

I just replaced my new Primacy 215 HP's with the 225 PS4S, and the weight increase was only 2 lbs per tire. The weight on the Michelin spec sheet was wrong. If you compare that weight with other tires, you'll see what I mean.

2lbs is way better than 6 and about on par with other options. Thanks for the feedback.
