This is the section about tire weight and mass.
“People care about wheel weight, but… they don’t care about tire weight.” Why is that?
Maybe it’s because things other than weight are more important.
But
if you think in your head “how many grams different from last time,”
understanding the weight difference might be “even more fun?”
The front tire looks like this.
The round profile is a standard “gentle” type, so the handling should be “neutral.”
Approximately 6.275 kg.
By the way, “Michelin Power GP POWER GP 120/70-17” is about 4.28 kg,
so you can see how heavy bias tires are.
*Though the narrower width also plays a role…
The rear has this shape.
Like the front, it has a “gentle impression,” so expectations are quite high.
Approximately 7.335 kg.
Michelin Power GP POWER GP 180/55-17 5.550 kg
Front and rear combined is about 13.61 kg.
By the way, the Power GP is 9.83 kg combined front and rear. That’s quite a difference, isn’t it?
