I would imaging that there is a big weight difference between tyre types with P rated being lightest LT being heavy and an all steel radial being even heavier.

130 rims are heavier then 110 rims.

SWMBO claims the scales are not accurate

Series 2a with 7.50x16 Steeltrek 32kg

110 with 7.50 x 16 Desert Dueller 27kg

Both tyres with tubes and about half worn. Seems the weights vary quite bit, as you would expect. Not sure how accurate the scales are, but should not be more than a kilo out.
