Default Pro wedges or Zipper ?

Years ago (20+) i used to run Ohtsu pro wedge tires on my 350 x three wheeler and on my 350 Yamaha big wheel with good results but it has been so long i cant remember what they weighed.Does anyone know the weight of the Ohtsu pro wedge or the Zipper?I am considering either one of these for a dune tire on my DS for everything but serious hill drags where i will use my Hauler triple buffed tires.My triple buffs are just to thin and fragile to continue using them for the wooded sand trails and i am looking for a light all around tire that will work reasonably well for both trails and hills.I could just use a regular hauler but from what i remember the Pro wedge performed well.The AMS Zipper looks like the Pro wedge but i dont know much about them. Anyone remember these tires?

I ran pro wedges on a 250R but never on the DS. I have run the 4 snows and they are very simular. I liked them for all around riding

Thanks for the replies so far.I am pretty confident that the pro wedge or the zipper would be a decent all around sand tire i just dont want to run a heavy tire and lose performance.I have tried to find a website with atv tire weights but so far no luck.Anyone know of such a site?

I know the 4snows are fairly light! They are compared to those you mentioned.

The Zippers are a heavier tire.

The wedges are a softer tire.
