I genuinely can't believe that a human being on a bike would notice 100g or so of weight on a hill from a bead in a tyre.
Typical bike or 13kg, typical human adult of 70kg, bottles etc 3kg, total of say 86,000 grams, and 100g is going to make any noticeable difference?
Fwiw I think they're good town bike tyres, but I took them off my tourer as I kept getting punctures on them.
