Tyre Load Question
« on: August 05, 2012, 06:13:00 pm »
Getting some 18" Eagle F1's soon and would like to know if i need the XL (extra load) variation or the 88 Y type?
What did the GTI have from the factory?
I currently have Pirreli P Rosso on the car at the moment.

By the by, The cheapest i could find is  £449.72 for set of 4 delivered.

You want the XL version...

Thanks. Do I need to change the valves or reuse the old ones?
