Did a little bit of research on tire weights, now that V720s are also available in Z/28 sizes:
From my

MPSC 2: 26 lbs
Trofeo R: 28 lbs
NT01: 30 lbs (shipping weight; Nitto did not list its weight in specs)
MPSS: 30 lbs
RE-11: 32 lbs
R888: 32 lbs
V720: 33 lbs
So, with the V720 tires, you're effectively adding 5 lbs PER CORNER! It is equivalent to replacing the Z/28 wheels with heavy replica wheels, or replacing carbon-fiber GT350R wheels with Z/28 wheels. It might even be worse since the inertial mass gets more problematic as it goes further away from center (radius). This will certainly hurt performance.
