Thanks for doing this...but now I'm even more confused!

The Michelin site says that the OEM primacy hp tire is 20.8lb (let's just take it as 21lb) which makes the 2017+ wheel/tire combo 43.5lb.

I could swear everywhere in the past I had read the OEM combo weight coming in at around 41lb.

Any chance you were able to weigh the tires as well?

I just put on new tire on the OEM wheel and it weighed 44.5lbs. It was the FALKEN
AZENIS FK510, 225 /45 R17 94Y XL BSW.

which ones? There are multiple STI wheels and even multiple optional STI wheels depending on which car and offset. I would not put it past a Subaru parts dealer to be looking at the 19" wheels not realising they would not fit our cars.
