Maximum speeds for V and Extra Load (XL) winter tyres > < Winter tyres with speed symbol "V"
Extra Load (XL) V winter tyres
Extra Load (XL) V winter tyres
V winter tyres marked XL have a higher load capacity than V winter tyres without this code.
XL V winter tyres allow a higher speed, but this does not mean that the top speed of a V tyre is 240 km/h for every VW car.
The same conditions apply to these tyres as to V winter tyres without a special code!
Tyre pressure for Extra Load V tyres
Extra Load V winter tyres generally require 0.2 bar greater pressure (this does not apply for the Phaeton 2003 >).
The following table → Chapter shows how fast VW cars may drive with V winter tyres, depending on their respective axle load.
