Guys, I was trying to order a set of 4 tires 235/40/18Yokohama aves 100 for my aspec from tirerack but when i check out they have a warning on these tire "The following tire you have selected has a higher load rating than the vehicle's Original Equipment (O.E.) tires. This typically results in increased ride harshness, which some customers may find undesirable." Should i buy it?

Thanks

 

anyone help>???


thanks

 

Typically any tire that has an XL rating is constucted with a stronger sidewall to contend with the higher vehicle loaded weight, therefore the possibility of a harsher ride may exist. You'll find many UHP tires with the XL rating simply because they are constructed to afford superior handling and therefore meet the XL load capacity index.

Plenty of people on here have XL tires on their cars, so maybe one will add some feedback as to ride characteristics.
