Zippiness is rather a weight thing. Rolling resistance may be more of a long distance thing.

Personally, I don’t find your trigger sports a “high resistance” tire. They are not super light, but I don’t find them slow rolling

If I’m going slow and steady over a long distance – rolling resistance matters to me. Like DrI mentioned above – weight isn’t that important. I’m not going that fast or accelerating hard over a long distance. Nothing zippy

For a short distance, I like light and zippy. I may accelerate harder, maneuver with greater agility.

My bike tires range from 25 watts to 70 watts rolling resistance (for a pair). That is rather an extreme spread. Likely your tires have a 10-20watt spread – and that difference is kind of hard to feel.
