Congratulations; you may be the first ever to ask this question.
I can't conceive what you're trying to accomplish, but I doubt you'll find an already compiled database for this information.

Traditionally, savings in unsprung weight (for handling purposes) have revolved around substituting alloy wheels, cross drilled brake rotors and aluminum bodied Brake calipers.

Unless you've got a hankering for driving the Alaska tundra and need high flotation tires, I'd fixate on another route.

great!

thanks for the info.
which tire brand you think suits daily driving all season tires ? Kuhmos , Falken , Michlegin tires

I'm partial to either Yokohama's or Toyo's myself.
The Yokohama Avid T4 would be a good all-season performance radial
The Toyo Proxes 4 would be the second choice

A great tire which has served me well has been the Toyo Spectrum All-Season. 130k and they still have the original injection nubs.....

michelin pilot exalto's or goodyear eagle GT's are good too. ive had both

I used to be partial to B.F.Goodrich Radial TA'a. Great tire line at the time until they were bought by a Michelin / Bridgestone consortium.
Michelin has always been the better of the three, Bridgestone never appeared interesting in other than touring examples, and Goodrich I haven't a clue...

antigram

i think goodyear is better

Go with Falken, price wise Falken are great tires in general.

I don't think there is a better tire for equal money than Kumho.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve with lightweight tires, but a lot of companies are making low rolling resistance tires that are supposed to help with fuel mileage.
