Maxxis Refuse don't weigh 245g, they weigh 321g, 76g more than their quoted weight.
This is based on a sample of four brand new 700 x 23c tyres, they all weighed exactly the same.
There are also cheaper places to buy them now than CRC, I got my four for £19.99 each from Discount Cycles Direct, free delivery if you buy at least two, arrived next day:

The description of the Vredstein Fortezza Tricomp Quattro takes you to the standard Tricomp (the Quattro has extra grip but doesn't roll quite as fast) on Cycling Bargains. Their actual weight is actually 22g lower than quoted, the new one I've just weighed is 218g.
