Lightweight wheels and tires are the best performance upgrade you can do to anything with wheels and tires. Hands down lightweight tires make a huge difference in performance on a bicycle. Lightweight durable wheels are the first upgrade I always do to every bicycle I get.

That is silly. Weight is by far only one criteria when it comes to a tire.
stiffness, radial compliance, rim profile have way more influence than a couple of grams. And don't even start mentioning radial weight....
These are factors that matter to th 1-2% pro riders in DH WC, but not to 95% of the masses.
the lightweight trend in Mountain Biking (Freeride, Gravity, DH) is all just big marketing BS.
my favourites are always the guys purchasing a super lightweigth carbon rim, and then adding half a kilogramm of Huck Norris, Tubeless Tape and sealent
