about 850g each as I balanced them on the kitchen scales ๐Ÿ˜ฅ

..on the rigid/ride with kids/general pootle bike. I have beeen using wtb allterrainasarus, which are fine but puncture a lot, so thought I would try the Schwalbe's - they were dirt cheap on Wiggle, look good, and from a quick spin outside the house seem to roll on the road well, but OMG they are heavy !

Good tyres. Grip better than you would think too.

there is a good reason they don't puncture easily:)

yeah, the reviews on wiggle etc were very positive, just amazed how much they weigh ! not really a problem for what I will be using them for and if it stops the punctures on family rides I'll be happy ๐Ÿ˜†

great tyres. I've got them on my winter road bike because I hate fixing punctures at the side of the road in the dark.
they weigh a ton but that's a good thing for training, I think ๐Ÿ˜‰

They're the tyre of choice for the 3 Peaks for a reason!
