As far as weight, it will reduce static weight but the main improvement will be rotational.
If you reduce the weight of the wheel/tire assembly, you will have reduced the actual weight of the assembly, effectively reducing unsprung weight and rotational mass all at the same time
Well said guys; great responses!
60mm = 2.3622inches. Not quite the 2.4 of AKA and Proline.
Our wheel is actually 2.4" (60.96mm), but 60mm sounds/looks better in print
Our new tire is actually a true 60mm so that it fits the wheel better/tighter for easier gluing
Stay tuned for the tire announcements
