Wanted to know if anyone has ever weighed rear tires like quad cross, dwt mx, maxxis 940, ect.... and What in your opinion works best with a strong 70 or 90 set up????? lower wight equals less rotation mass

Less weight is good. But i like the M940's even if there a couple pounds heavier. They just seem to hook up.

if you want to put more to the ground balance the little boogers!
i cut rubber away no sense in putting weight on the wheel

I actually did timed laps and holeshots to find out what was working the best.

and it was absolutely obvious.

Maxxis 940's are going to be the lightest "full size" tire you'll find. The draw backs to that tire is that the sidewall is thin which allows it to flex and be bouncy and they don't have the best side grip for cornering. The straight away grip in fine. A wider (full size) tire is the best way to go imo because there is more surface area contacting the ground which means less tire spin.
Snowhogs suck!
I'm trying the Maxxis Rzr mx - Yellow or Orange label. They feel pretty light and pull well.
