I stand by my original comments which I think are accurate but I can't really disagree with anything you have stated. You are lighter than me and it sounds like you use better roads. I'm certainly not saying that light tyres don't have advantages but clearly making tyres lighter and thinner is a compromise. Sometimes it reads like people think you can eliminate a lot of weight from a product and still have the same wear resistance, strength etc.
