Message	about any car ;-) Now my new wheel, is about 4lbs lighter than the old, and the 275/35-18 is about 3lbs heavier than the 245/40-17 I had on the old wheel. So I'm at a 1lb advantage, with a wider tire. If I go down to the 255/35-18, I still have a wider tire, but my weight advantage goes up to 2lbs. Going to get the 275s mounted tomorrow, and will see how they fit up front to determine what size to order. Either the 275/35 or 255/35...
