[00:00:00]Magical Mike 275 Very specific.

[00:00:02]>> Very specific name there. Uh what makes a tire heavier when they visually look the same? That is a great question. I mean, it links to carcass. Yes.

[00:00:11]Effectively, your tire is made up of fabric layers and the mix of those fabric layers and how they're built up. So, there's going to be overlaps in certain places.

[00:00:20]There's going to be sometimes reinforcement sections that literally sort of Yeah, like a plastic insert to reinforce certain sections often around the bead.

[00:00:31]And that's another point. The bead is going to be different. So, that's this really strong part of the tire that's designed to hold Well, hold it onto the rim. So, with a tubeless version, it needs to be a different shape. It needs to be a different profile and we'll get into probably some of the reasons on why later. But all of that can add to the mass.
