Will there be a noticable difference between running 0.190 Red wall vs 0,120 Blue wall 10" rims x 10 " wide with Paddles??

Erbe,
I weighed the front wheels on my DS and the black label .160 were 1.25 Lbs lighter each, and throw in its rotating weight is helps a lot more than just 2.5 Lbs.

I did not get a chance to weigh the rear wheels, but it would be even more of a change since there is a lot more metal to start with and you are going to a blue label.

I weighed them twice to make sure I was getting a good reading. I used my postal scale.
