Yes, to me this is the most important reason why I rather run a trail tyre with insert rather than a DH tyre. Weight aside, the difference in rolling resistance and grip is massive imho. The DH tyres need abit more speed and force to "come alive" than what I can get at my home trails. And the difference in rolling resistance is somthing I think many reviews neglect when they only talk about "this type of casing is x grams heavier".
Just my 5c.
