Cam - I'm an insert virgin and have only just moved to proper casing tyres. I ride in Surrey UK (no rocks, some roots and plenty of mud atm) and have previously got away with Exo F+R. I'm now on WTB Verdict LHG and Judge THG for winter which are properly heavy cf 2.5 exos. While I like the WTBs they're probably more tyre than I need.
Would your preference be to use a lighter casing + insert or just run a heavy casing? Weight wise im sure an insert isn't going to be heavier than the ~1400g Judge I have on the rear.
Thanks in advance, Martin
