If going in a straight line and not doing wheelies, reducing the weight of either tire by the same amount results in a corresponding reduction in rotational inertia, so it would feel the same.
No wheelies. Just riding in a straigh line.
I thought that maybe since there is more weight on the rear and the rear is "powered", that the weight reduction in the rear may provide a greater increase in efficiency than a tire-weight reduction in the front of an equal amount.
Am I thinking about this the wrong way?
