Falken 512's in that size weigh 21.6lbs.

So now the combined weight is 36.6lbs.


True the 512 is an ultralight tire. There are 225/40's that weigh over 28lbs as well. Tire choice plays a large factor in the end results.

Using that 37lb 18" combo it would be.

+35 lbs accelerating
+90 lbs braking

Using a 28lb tire (43lb combo) it would be.

+245 lbs accelerating
+470 lbs braking

Yes tire weight is paramount to this type of calculation.
