Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Tires, Reinforced, Extra Load
| Some time ago, the designation “Reinforced” was replaced
with the designation “Extra Load” by some tire manufacturers. In
countries outside Europe, this designation has been conventional
for some time. There are no technical differences. |
| Some tire manufacturers also use the “XL” designation for
Extra Load tires. |
| Tires with the designations “Reinforced” or “Extra Load
(XL)” are the same. |
| V winter tires with XL designation have a higher load
capacity than the V winter tires without this designation. |
| Higher speeds can be attained with XL V-winter tires, but
the maximum speed of the V tires of 240 km/h (149.12 mph) is not
permissible for every vehicle. |
| The Same Conditions Apply for These Tires as for V Winter
Tires without Special Designation! |
