What is the tire weight for the front and rear ?
I am wondering if they are lighter than OEM

These are on-par with the Firestone's for price. But they have a much lower wear rating, don't they?

The Goodyears weigh 30 front and 34 rear
The Yokohamas weight 28 front and 30 rear

Lower treadwear rating than the Firestones (180 ... 340) but better performance

The front tires are Z rated while the rear are Y rated ??? Could it be a typo ?

The run flat in 245 is a Y and the non-run flat is rated a W.
The 275 which I'm told only comes in a run flat is rated a Y.

This was what I was told when I called the TireRack. The Yoko Site is out a date. They don't even show a 275/40-18!!
