I was looking at the new probikekit.com catalog, thinking of buying some Pro2Race 700x25 tires, and noticed they list the weight as 300 grams. I was really surprised that they are 60 grams more than the 700x23s. Can anyone verify this weight? Michelin's website lists them as 265 and 220. I like the greater comfort of the 25s but perhaps only because I can safely run them at 90-95 psi. I'm not racing so perhaps the weight is not a real issue and I weigh 160lbs so even the 23s are big enough. Michelin's 25s seem MUCH bigger than the 23s and I have a tough time removing the wheel. I have to open the brake and loosen the cable to get them out. At this point I may go back to 23s and just drop the pressure a bit.
257g on our scale.
(with the plastic wrapper it was 312g.)
If you weigh tires from different batches they'll vary a bit but not 35g
