Got me questioning things, so I looked up some weights.
Tires:
Michelin Pilot Sport Cups 225/45/r17 = 20lbs
a 225/40/r18 is also 20 lbs
Kumho MX 235/45/r17 = 24 lbs
a 225/40r18 = 22 lbs
Popular wheels:
SSR GT1's 17" = 16.5 lbs 18" = 19 lbs
a BBS RX 17" = 22.1 lbs
couldn't find weights on 18" wheels, but they will be heavier than 17". Also, could not find a wheel lighter than 19 lbs that fits the Saab.
information on weights and stuff can be found at
