That is true, but I would be willing to bet that this tire/tube/wheel will weigh less than any solid tire set up you guys are using. The mass of a pneumatic simply is not there like a solid tire. I replaced, just last night a 4" solid tire on my Nordictrack Elliptical Trainer (yep, I wore the tire out) and it weighs more than that pneumatic I held yesterday. I could tell that without even putting it on a scale. Just think, if you put this pneumatic on, you may have to recalculate CG because it could move forward. :-)

When you throw in the distance back to those few ounces it doesn't take much to make a big difference.
