The Germans have made a list of accumulated tire weights: [https://gewichte.mtb-news.de/category-45/reifen](https://gewichte.mtb-news.de/category-45/reifen)
The majority of tires are heavier than what the manufacturer claims. How much, depends on the company.
Continental is usually close to spec. As is Hutchinson. Maxxis is so-so. Schwalbe tires are often far above their claimed weights. When they introduced their new casings, the tires were often 10-15% heavier than claimed. Which could amount to 400g or more of extra weight. Not great, considering this is rotating, unsprung mass at the extremities of the bike.
