WHat is the lightest XC mtb tire?

[Me]

Hi, I know I'm really geeking here, but I cant find many weights for most of the XC tires on
the market.

I'm interested in a 2.0 or 2.1 and I'm building up the lightest bike poss. Whats the lightest.

I'm so geeky I dont really care how they ride as long as they are light and look cool.

As a trail pimp, I currentloy have Panaracer Fires in balck and red kevlar
2.1s

Is there anything lighter? How much so?

cheers,

me

The Fires are relatively heavy for an XC tire. You can get some much lighter racing tires, though
they aren't for everyone. Even Panaracer makes a lighter tire for general use (the Trailblaster).
