Came across this spreadsheet this morning. Thought it might be useful.

Very interesting. A few sub 500g tyres in there!
The trouble around here is finding something light but with strong enough sidewalls to cope with the trails!
I've been a fan of the RaRa snakeskins, but they wear so quickly on the rear.
Just got some race kings for the 26'er and so far very impressed.
The specialized weights look accurate as well based on my experience.
Thanks for sharing

Seems to be missing.
They are 490 grams and have strong side walls and works as tubless. Been using them front and rear for a little while now and so far so good. Performed very well in the Shimano GP Round 2 over the weekend and James estate.

hawkeye, I know you've got a thing for numbers, but really????
You could have at least pulled your finger out
and provided actually useful stuff, like tyre "bulge" measurements. You know, just how wide the tyre is once on the rim, which is so poorly represented in their labeling. So us poor buggers stop buying a supposedly wider tyre for the front only to find it's in fact no different from the rear even though it says 2.1 while the rear says 2.0.
(I'm now secretely hoping you will pull one of them out of your sleeve. Will I be disappointed?)
