OK Wayne, "something to do with suspension tuning ", Yes
"In a static sense the wheels are still supporting the weight", correct,
it is the dynamics of the road in front of the wheels and stay in
contact. Less wheel weight, less shock pressure, less spring, and don't
forget the tires. At speed those little bumps get big. enough

So what's the advantage of "taking the weight off the wheels", something to do

In a static sense the wheels are still supporting the weight of the discs (and
all the rest of the car).

Jaguar has a unique disc-brake system where the discs are inboard, taking that
weight off the wheels. However, a PITA to service from what I know.

Yes, indeed. A pretty advanced car. Fiberglass body, like the Corvette. First
American production car to offer front disc brakes. Released in 1962, the year
of my birth, so that just makes it cooler. Designed by Raymond Loewy's firm,
assembled right next door in South Bend, IN.
Jaguar imported the concept to automobiles I read. It was in in 1953 for Le
Mans.
The Citroen DS had them as early as 1955, stock.
I love the system, so long as the music is good, way better than MP3
;-)
