No experience with said tire but I take issue with this part of your post:

"I know that these cars are a little on the heavy side"

Not really. We are under 3000#'s and I challenge you to find a modern car that is (save some performance cars and a couple of subcompacts) so light.

On tires, with a few exceptions, about any modern tire is going to be equal to or greater than the abilities of a 240's suspension unless it has recently been brought up to factory-fresh spec's (all new bushings, new-condition ball joints and tie-rod ends, strut inserts and shocks, etc). As a result, I always focus on the braking performance (wet and dry) and the tread wear rating (I prefer something closer to 800 than not).
