[gracie barra]

what load and speed rating should the 182 cups have? i think its 87w but not sure.:S

V is 149
W is 168.
I always go for the highest when ordering tyres, don't know why!

EDIT:
83 - 487kgs
87 - 545kgs

83V is standard

Had 2 87W PS3's tyres fitted on the front of the Trophy and handling feels rather odd to say the least. Are the XL 87W tyres likely to make the car feel difference to a major extent over the 83V's? Have read that the XL tyres have stiffer sidewalls so wondering if the tyre is not moving enough when cornering, etc?
