 Fisher, that question was asked here before. Look under General discussions, page 2, & look under weight, posted by Frank Walsh. He thought it doubled in weight. Mike, in 57 rebuild had new tubes put in his tires. While @ the shop, he sized up a foam filled tire there. He also thought it was a lot of extra weight.
