Let's say you have half a tank of gas in your car, that means that you have 42.5 lbs less weight than you would with a full tank. That's basically the difference between the heavy and light tires you mentioned. So ask yourself: can you tell the difference between driving around with a full tank vs a half tank?

For me, the answer was a definite no.

Yes
