stants Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 M.o.t today flagged an advisory as to the age of my rear tyres showing some sign of cracking on the sidewalls, loads of tread left but obviously need replacing, Various sites are throwing up tyre selections of 95 and 99 and xl rated tyres, i have 95xl on at the moment, question is do i really need to choose xl (reinforced) tyres or will i get away with 95 or 99's 95's are rated to 690kg and 99's 775 kg, The car weighs around 1500kg dry so add a bit more on fro occupants and fluids, it's not used for towing anything and is rarely fully laden, Reason i ask is there is alot more choice not having to go witjh exact replacments Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stants Posted November 3, 2014 Author Share Posted November 3, 2014 It just says xl tyres for heavy cars, don't consider the sf foz to be a porker by todays standards ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
david1972 Posted November 3, 2014 Share Posted November 3, 2014 I agree.....my orig wheels on the SG didn't have XL rubber on, so can't see it being a problem to be honest mate. Why not just go for standard 99s as a halfway house Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
