wrong load rating

Although agreed they are a superb tyre I cant justify the tyre being the wrong one [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

The load rating really doesn't matter unless you intend on driving at 150+ mph for long durations. Now in England some of you may remember we have a 70 mph limit, read it in a book recently [img]images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img] . My Toyo's @ 93Y are fine and tested at 170 mph (for a few seconds). Whilst we were at Hockenheim Audi GmbH checked all the cars and were not concerned about the load rating on our tyres.

You ain't gonna get a lot of choice if you stick to the rules....

Alright already

I give up

I surrender

White flag out

Just watch Audi for the bendy wheel replacement scenario if you have the wrong tyre

That all

Bushy, You can't wave the falg and then fire a shot. Audi don't replace my wheels, my dealer does. While I had the 94Y's I had 6 rims due to bending. Since I've been running Toyo's I've had none.... [img]images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

Thanks for the input.

I'll have a think on which ones to go for.
