>From the latest Riv Reader on the Paris-Moto: "The sample shown actually weighs 291g, but with a 1.5mm tread thickness. Kirk says the production tires will be thicker-about 2mm-and the 308g listed here is a prediction." Width shown is 38.15 mm.
>From the VBQ test of the Hetre: "Width (on 25 mm Mavic Criterium rims): 42 mm Weight: Sample 1: 392 g; Sample 2: 426 g Thickness (casing + tread): 3.8 mm" Narrower and lighter than an Hetre? I'd say the P-M should fit the bill. I have a pair of the tan walls on order. I expect to restrict the P-M's to paved roads, I'll keep the Fatty Rumpkins for mixed- surface use.
