Tire Weight

panterashahMember

Hi everyone, I hope someone here has an answer to my question, while doing a comparison between Michelin and Kumho tires, I noticed a weight difference of 4 lbs per tire between the two for the same rear tire size ( 335/35 ZR17). Kumhos were heavier than Michelins. The weight difference for the fronts was only one pound between the two brands for size 255/40 ZR 17s. If I install these heavier Kumhos at rear, will this have a noticable difference in acceleration and braking as compared to the lighter Michelins?
