Are you talking about wheels or tires? You can put lots of different tires on your wheels.

Your new tires should match or exceed the loading and speed rating of your original tires. Load ratings are given in numbers (92, etc). What in the world is an XL loading rating?

You might want to go on to www.acura-cl.com and ask the guys thre...they have more experience as to what tire sizes are best to fit your ride.

XL on tires mean extra load as opposed to standard or regular load.

I think sometimes the guys at www.tirerack.com are a little too set on what the computer screen (in front of them) tells them. They told me I couldn' t have 19" wheels on my TL-S, but I went ahead and got them anyway (among lots of others), and I don't have any problems with my car at all!!! So, if they're telling you that you can only have certain types of tires on your CL, well.... maybe they don't know as much as they claim. That's just my "two cents."
