Thanks, CapriRacer, I was hoping for an explanation from our resident Tire Geek.

I feel the tires on the Insight are larger than they need to be. They're rated for 937lbs, and the car weighs <600lbs at each corner when fully loaded.

However, I can't seem to find low RR tires for road vehicles smaller than an Insight but larger than a bicycle. Are there such tires, in the range of 150-600 lbs max load per tire?
