Further research is needed.
Also, I forgot to mention, the Re92's were 5LB less PER TIRE vs what I had. So I cut 20lb total of rotational mass. You would have to weigh your current setup, and then see how much HX or insights rims with RE92'S weigh (about 23lb give or take a pound). If you're going to be adding even 3lb per tire, would it really be worth it? I don't think so. Who knows. Too bad you don't live close to me, that would be a fun afternoon project.

According to tire rack the re92's are only 13lbs versus the michelins being 17lbs! That means any weight advantage the vx wheels have over the hx wheels doesn't really matter based on these wheel choices. It would be interesting to test... I'm not too far from you wolf (Orange County), maybe once my vx is running good we can test this. I was planning on getting a set of the michelins for my vx wheels anyway.
