I haven't ridden the 3″ Chupacabra - hope to rectify that - but it's
definitely a lightweight compared to the Minion and as much as the knobs are
smaller a lot of that weight is going to come from the casing.
I know of a few guys running them elsewhere on Staches who really like them as
all around rubber.
Light casing Plus tires don't seem to work locally (and I think are a reason a
lot of people locally view Plus negatively -- because of witnessing the
experiences of early adopters). Your experience may vary.
If you're looking for something faster/quieter rolling Maxxis is doing a
reinforced version of their Rekon that should be the best of both worlds.
