I thought I was getting race guard dual compound which is marked on the tyre. They also have a p on them, which I presume is the performance, ie cheaper variety.
I'm addition, one weighs 270 grammes, the other 310. That's a fairly big difference for a tyre advertised at 250 gm per tyre in a 25 mm width.
You'll have a hard time arguing they are anything other than as labelled.
Were they cheap?
Ps.. They are the folding variety
So?
If you think m stuff weighs what the catalogue says then you have a long way to<span style="font-size: 0.8rem;"> go young padowan...</span>
Tbh I realise that manufacturers fudge weights, I can live with a a tyre weighing 275 that is claimed to be 250. I had the same tyres previously and they were around 265 each. But 315g (just weighed it a couple of times more to see if my scales had malfunctioned) is Imo not acceptable. I'm only buying them to replace the 350g anchors that came with the bike, so one off the key drivers was a bit less rolling weight.
Yes they were cheapish, but I'd still expect the tyre not to be 30% more than claimed, especially as the other is more inline with expected. I may take it back and see if they have another. If the same weight then so be it, but hopefully it will be lighter.
You have my sympathy, unfortunately this seems common place
the box should have the EAN number on. match it on the website.
