Vittoria hyper tires weigh a lot more than advertised?

So I have had Vittoria randonneur hyper before and bought some new ones under the voyager hyper label. Difference is that these are now clinchers instead of folding. But i looked on Vittorias homepage, and it states 395 gram, seems quite ok for a 35mm tire.

This turned out to be a huge exaggeration, i know the stated weight might differ some times, but this it ridiculous.

Stated 395 grams for clincher: Voyager Hyper - Vittoria.com

Reality(weighed on a kitchen scale as well with same result):


Reference weight on the same scale, san marco regal:



This is almost 50% more than stated!!!??
