9" stocker radials

My car seems to like the heavy sidewall MT street radial tire. I want to go to a slick and need a taller tire as I am running out of motor now. Looking over the specs of the 9" wide, 92"-93" rollout radials from Goodyear, Hoosier, and M/T, the Goodyears weigh 26 lbs., the Hoosiers and M/T's are 23-24 lbs. Does this mean the sidewalls are thicker or stiffer on the Goodyear radials because the tire weighs more?
