Weight difference between a radial front runner and a bias-ply? I have 2 sets of radials for the fronts (1 for the street, other for track) but I think I want to switch the track set to the bias-ply fronts for the weight savings. But are they significantly lighter say compared to an 8ply MT street runner? Thanks.

taken of mickey thompson website.
26x7.5x15 8 ply sportsman front is 19 lbs.
26x4.5x15 et front is 12 lbs.
so looks to be about 7lbs per wheel between the two.
go to their website to compare more.
