you would be dropping weight with the wheels and adding it back on with heavier tires. since the weight is towards the outside diameter, it would actually "feel" heavier. I added about 5lbs each corner and the car felt slower acceleration for the first few days, after that I didn't notice. The improved grip alone out weighed the acceleration loss.
