Yes, they are heavy, especially when I first picked up the box that both tires and tubes where shipped in. I like the softer ride of the Michelins for less load shock to the body, wheels, and a axles from my heavy load carrying, but the verdict is still out on the lower acceleration, reduced top speed, and higher pedaling effort, especially when I work urban traffic on a daily basis.
