From my experience, for all practical purposes, tenure does not change your job responsibilities. If you're expected to have a 4/4 load before then you are expected to have one after. Same if your expected to be research active with a 2/2 load. What changes is the need to constantly renew your contract. Much larger changes coincide with seniority changes (to full for example) or switching from being an adjunct.
