Mine are 97 Y XL's, which is what the book states.

Thanks Sonic, your car's tyres are the same as mine so I know that I can use the same set up, cheers!

if you have a matching set that's a good thing...

if it has 97 as std and you go to 99 all round you will probably only notice a slight decrease in ride comfort and possibly crisper steering

if it has 102 all round it will be different to a std car, but might drive safely, but with more noise, less comfort....

I believe after 102 its 107 and these will be for silly conditions and not sensible for normal use on normal roads by normal people.

you shouldn't listen to me, read the owners manual / email the tyre manu for alternate fitment they have tested and are happy to support.

Jimbo, if I did lots of miles and had a good set of XL tryes I'd get a set of 97 for the other end and cope with it …. BUT remember to get the matching set when you can, not repeat with another set of the same next round

I will get a matching set as soon as I can Botus, I'm a great believer in the them. I will go with Rainsport 3's though as I prefer their wet weather characteristics.

Thanks for your help and advice!
