If everything else is equal then it will be. Less mass, less volume of material, and less frontal area.
But a light silica based 14 tire may be a better LRR tire than a standard 13. For example, the Michelin Harmony is available in 13, but the HydroEdge isn't.
(According to Michelin customer support, those are the two best LRR tires that Michelin makes.)
But it comes as a trade-off with less traction.
