    Heavier Tyres

    Do heavier tyres, not wider or taller, just tyres that weight more, put more strain on front wheel bearings ? .W.

    yes, additional dynamic rotating mass, worse if its off balance and gets a shake up.

    thnk of it this way...

    a 5lb head on a 30cm handle or a 6lb head on a 30 cm handle which ones going to take more effort on your wrist joint to swing.

    I wouldn't worry about the wheel bearings,they can handle any tyre size you can fit,it's the swivel pin bearings that will suffer. Pat
