Extra Load Tyres – Harrow

Extra load tyres – marked XL or reinforced on the sidewall – are built to carry higher weights than a standard tyre of the same size. They’re increasingly specified as original equipment on larger cars, SUVs, and vehicles that frequently carry heavy loads or tow, and fitting a standard tyre where an extra load rating is required is both a safety risk and a potential MOT failure.

Do You Actually Need Extra Load Tyres?

If your vehicle’s placard or handbook specifies XL tyres, that’s what should go on it – there’s no safe alternative. Beyond manufacturer requirements, extra load tyres are worth considering for vehicles regularly used at or near maximum payload, those that tow frequently, or larger SUVs where the standard load index may be marginal. We’ll check your vehicle’s requirements and advise accordingly rather than simply fitting whatever’s in stock.
