    Ok, first, my truck...

    I have a 2014 Regular Cab 4x4, 2.7(obviously), auto trans, 285s and 4.88 gears.
    My question is, if I shave 10lbs off of each wheel/tire, while keeping the same diameter tires, will it be a noticeable difference? Will I even be able to feel it on acceleration or braking??

    Yes; but also depends where the weight is removed; moment of inertia.
