Very interesting.  Take a look at the FAQ regarding the effects of saving weight on the tires themselves.

303 Cycle has a video on the tires:

Got my first set of Power Pure tires in today. Obviously these are only for the most sporting riders amongst us, so this is of limited value, but...

Honestly this is the first set of tires I've owned that I can actually see the engineering behind the concept. You can tell just looking at them that this is the start of a new era in tires, I swear.

Just wanted to share. These tires *will* replace the 2CT tires as soon as the 2CTs are all sold out, so expect some really good deals on the "old" 2CT tire by the end of the season, if cost is a concern. As it is, though, I paid about $295 after taxes per set.
