I guess first identify the ones that offer max grip, and then compare and contrast the weights.
Lightweight also can't make up for the lack of grip

No, but if you have two tires that are very close, the lighter one may be the winner.

For example, if memory serves, R-615's tend to be heavier than Kumho XS's, but they perform about the same (actually, the XS's outperform the Azenis).
