Don't think changing over the tyres will make your bike *that* much lighter if it's not a lightweight bike to start with. However changing the knobbly off road tyres to something more road worthy will make tooling round town a little faster. Less rubber on the floor is good!!
Another idea for bike sources Rockin is police sales. In my town stolen bikes not reunited with their owners are sent to a local sale room. May be worth looking into what the cops do with stolen bikes in your town/area.
