XL Load Tyres?

[craigp172cup]

Hi there,

I can get Hankook Ventus V12s for £77 all in per corner. However, they can only get them on Extra Load. Is this going to matter at all? What is the difference with the normal and XL tyres and should i avoid them and get the normal ones?

Anyone? I checked the tyres on it just now which are V12s and they say extra load too. can you only get them in extra load. they are 205 45 ZR16 87W

Mine are the exact same

Just means stiffer sidewalls iirc

I am guessing that you can only get the ventus v12 in this load rating since i have only ever seen them as 87W. Think i will just get them. 77 is a pretty good price!

unless you're running silly wheels or concrete coilovers I can't imagine stiffer sidewalls being anything to worry about
