Reinforced/Extra Load (XL) tyres
Tyres marked XL have a higher load capacity than tyres without this marking.
For some time a number of tyre manufacturers have been using the designation „Extra Load“ instead of „Reinforced“. This designation has been standard in countries outside of Europe for a while. From a technical point of view there is no difference between them.
Some tyre manufacturers also use the designation „XL“ for Extra Load tyres.
Tyres with the designation „Reinforced“ or „Extra Load (XL)“ are equivalent.
