Does Anyone Use XL (Extra Load,) Tyres on Their Car?

    Hello,

    I will be in the market for new tyres in the near future. Have been looking online, some of the least expensive options for new tyres include XL/ reinforced tyres. I don't need reinforced tyres as I never carry anything heavy. They are usually for SUV's, Vans etc but I was just considering them as a.budget option.

    I understand there's a trade off between XL tyres possibly lasting longer against increase in fuel consumption, harsher ride & noise level etc, but depending on reviews some say it's minimal.

    I am looking at Event Potentum XL Tyres in size 205 55 R16 94 W. My usual load rating is 91.

    My car is a 2003 Peugeot 406 Hdi.

    Not sure if XL are suitable for 406 Hdi but car is 18 years old now & just had some outlay on other stuff, may have to consider budget tyre options.

    Would be interested to hear from anyone who has tried XL tyres on their car & their experience of them. Or any budget tyre recommendations. Thanks.
