Wow, what a revelation; I was in utter shock when I pulled away from the tire shop, by how much lighter the car actually felt.

So that made me a believer that weight, at the wrong places, does have an some affect on dynamics of any such vehicle.. The question is it enough for one to notice.
Unsprung weight! Very noticeable.
