Grip, ah that. the trick is to find the cheapest possible tires you can find(in China!) and warm them up real good before hitting it. The rubber "melts" basically: Velcro-mode-ON! Excellent for the dusty Shanghai industrial Park, early Sunday morning, 0400am, cops & kids sleeping....

Is that what you meant by driving characteristic?

I think the weight difference actually depends on the tire manufacture and performance series.

Looking at General Tires G-MAX AS-03 tire, Tirerack shows the 265 weighs 1 lbs less then the 275, but their 275 weighs only 24 lbs. Click on specs.
