What is claimed: 1. A web of sanitary tissue product comprising a shaped line of weakness, wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Strength of between about 8 g and about 20 g, as measured by the Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Force Method, and wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Geometric Mean Peak Elongation of greater than about 15%, as measured according to the Dry Tensile Strength Test Method. 2. The web of claim 1 , wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a LWP Factor of greater than about 10. 3. The web of claim 1 , wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a LWP Factor of between about 10 and about 20. 4. The web of claim 1 , wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Basis Weight of from about 30 g/m 2 to about 90 g/m 2 , as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method. 5. The web of claim 1 , wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Dry Burst of between about 100 g and about 1000 g, as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method. 6. The web of claim 1 , wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Full Sheet Tensile Strength of between about 400 g and about 850 g, as measured by the Full Sheet Tensile Strength Test Method. 7. A roll of sanitary tissue product comprising a shaped line of weakness, wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Strength of between about 8 g and about 20 g, as measured by the Full Sheet Average Trapezoidal Tear Force Method, and wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Geometric Mean Peak Elongation of greater than about 15%, as measured according to the Dry Tensile Strength Test Method, and wherein the sanitary tissue product exhibits a Basis Weight of from about 30 g/m 2 to about 90 g/m 2 , as measured according to the Basis Weight Test Method. 8. The roll of claim 7 , wherein the roll of sanitary tissue product exhibits a roll compressibility of from about 4% to about 7%. 9. The roll of claim 7 , wherein the toilet tissue exhibits a LWP Factor of between about 10 and about 20. 10. The roll of claim 7 , wherein the sanitary tissue exhibits a Dry Burst of between about 100 g and about 1000 g, as measured according to the Dry Burst Test Method. 11. The roll of claim 7 , wherein the sanitary tissue is a through-dried fibrous structure.
