I'm with Pete 100%. I've got two wheelsets on my bike (got rid of DH bike), and I can tell you it's a massive difference on a longer ride. One is carbon with EXOs, the other is basic WTB alum rims, thicker spokes, CushCore, DoubleDowns, cheap/heavy NX cassette.
DHR MaxxTerra on both rear tires, so same tread and compound. Seriously, the difference in how my legs feel after even a modest 2500 ft of climbing between the two setups is not subtle.
