Since it's generally accepted that rotational weight is a great place to lose it, and tires are relatively cheap this is a tire weight thread.

OK, here are the rules:

1. These are to be DH, 4X, or FR tires - 2.3" or greater.
2. Single or dual ply are allowed.
3. Be specific - state as much info as you can, so if there are similar models we know what you're talking about.
4. All tires are assumed 26" unless otherwise stated.
5. No bickering. Tire weights vary by up to 10% through production.
6. Only post verified weights. Please use a decent scale.
7. These are just weights, not reviews. Search for more info.
8. Feel free to re-post someone else's tires if you feel like you can weight it better.
9. Please weight new/un-grooved/un-siped/un-cut tires.

Here's what I have in my garage now, to get it started (w/an Ultimate scale):

- Specialized S-Works Pinner 2.3" Dual Ply 1361g
- Nokian Gazza Shuttle 2.5" Dual Ply 1640g (!)
- Intense Edge DC EX Lite 2.35" Single Ply/Kevlar 972g
- WTB Prowler MX 2.5" Single Ply/Kevlar 987g
- Maxxis Minion DHF/R 3C 2.5" Dual Ply 1364g
- Schwalbe Nobby Nic 2.4" Single Ply/Kevlar 710g
- WTB Timberwolf 2.5" Single Ply/Kevlar 970g
- Nokian Gazz G 2.6" Dual Ply 1472g
- Maxxis Advantage 2.4" Single Ply 780g
- WTB Prowler XT 2.3" Single Ply/Kevlar 866g
- WTB Prowler SS 2.3" Single Ply/Kevlar 845g

Your timing....spectacular

Maxxis Minion 2.5 2ply DHF 60a: 1250 grams
Maxxis High Roller 2.35 1ply 60a: 792 grams

I'll add as I go through. Buying a scale is dangerous...

Don't know if the weight is right....but I had a set, and they sucked pretty bad.

Nicely done, I will make a super list that has all of them (including duplicates).

Soft compounds sure are heavier!
