Rix
100 TW
I wonder if they'd do better on lighter machines? One review said it was a great cold weather tire, but not in summer. Maybe it has a niche as a fat tire for slow winter driving?
That's a possibility if indeed its actually 11.5 pounds. I tossed the tire with out weighing it after I mounted the maxxis Desert IT, which weighs about 16 pounds with tube. Tubes for these size tires can hit the 3 pound mark easily if. Neat option could be to go with a Tubliss system to minimize weight, but still these tires are huge. Wait till you get your hands on one and compare it to the biggest bicycle fat tire you can find, it will probably be the same difference over comparing a fat tire to a regular MTD DH tire.
