I'm running 2.5 maxxis highrollers with dh tubes.
I need new tires, these ones are beat. Looking to lighten up if I can.

What's dual and single ply all about? I don't want to be getting flats all the time for the sake of a pound although it'd be great to lose a pound or two if possible (doubtful)!

I went from 2.5 Kenda Nevegal wire bead tires and regular Axiom tubes to 2.4 Schwalbe Big Betty folding bead tires and lightweight Schwalbe tubes.

I saved over 2lbs in weight and haven't had a single flat in 4 days at Whistler. I'm a 225lbs hack rider for the record :lol:
