Speed/weight rating on tires question

I'm looking at a set of tires at a really good price but I have a question about the speed rating...

These are for a 2003 S430

Rear 265/40/18 101y XL
Front 245/45/18 y96

My question is can I install this set of tires in my care safely.

The sticker on my car says the use y97 rear y96 front together or 101y rear and 100y front together.

I guess my question is...is it okay to mix a SL standard load 96Y rated tire in the front with a XL extra load 101y rated tire in the rear?
