| Lightest and best are two different things | shiggy©®
Oct 19, 2003 6:10 PM | | And it depends on how and where you ride. |
| Well... | jakers
Oct 19, 2003 7:06 PM | | I meant a light tire that is actually good, instead of a light tire that might be crap. So maybe not the lightest, and maybe not the best... but a combination of both.
I don't ride very hard at all. Fire trails and light singletrack stuff...
I can probably make due with a tire less than 2.0...
What do you think Master of all Tires? |
| Lightest is the Tioga Red Phoenix 1.9 UST (590-602g) Knobby | DIRT BOY
Oct 19, 2003 6:22 PM | | Smei Slick: Schwable Fast Fred 2.0 (525g)
Others 04 Hutchinson Python Light 2.0 (635g) then the Michelin Comp S Light 2.0 (675g), Schwalbe Jimmy 2.1 UST 685g.

| I'm not sure... | jakers
Oct 19, 2003 7:26 PM | | ...but Cambria Bike has the Hutchinson Scorpion UST listed at 460/590g front/rear.
Is this correct?! |
| That would be the non-UST Airlight version (590gms)... | wfl3
Oct 20, 2003 2:51 AM | | ...I'm not sure where Cambria got that 460gm weight from, maybe a Mosquito Airlight. All the UST Scorpions that I've weighed have been in the 730gm range. |
| Prefer the Nokian... | Batas
Oct 20, 2003 11:26 AM | | lite non UST with latex than the tioga red phoenix. Lighter and more precise steering. |
