Lightbulb How do they compare to city grips?

I’m also in the market for tires and have used the city grip 2 on many scooters and also read one review here where someone put on a 120 80 16 rear city grip on their pregen and claim the tire is 5lbs lighter than stock freeing up rotational weight and improving acceleration and handling. The only down side to city grip is they are rated to 93mph. Not such a big deal since I don’t plan on going much above 80. The other thing is city grips don’t turn as fast as other tires like the moto gp tires. That being said what’s the bt46 mph rating and weight? Weight is a big performing factor on smaller bikes and the scooter world and often overlooked when choosing a good tire. 5lbs of tire weight can make a huge difference. Hence when people swap over to carbon fiber wheels that are 5lbs lighter then oem they explain the feeling as a whole new different bike.
