PS do you worry that heavier tires on light rims will increase the rotational inertia of the wheels, even if total mass remains the same or less?
Yes, and almost all that extra tire weight is in the tread. Some will be in the bead wedge but most will be in the tread.

But, to get a stiffer tire you have to get a stronger tire, which means a heavier tire. No way around it.
