What size tyres on 108's?

[Lewis_P]

Hi Guys,

Sorry for the stupid question, but im going to get Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2's fitted to my coupe this weekend, and need to know what sizes as ive been trawling the forum and seen a number of tyre sizes. I was going for the below:

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 - 255/35 R18 (94Y) (REAR)
Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 - 225/40 R18 92Y XL (FRONT)

But I've also seen:

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 - 235/40 R18 92Y XL (FRONT)

What's the right tyre size for the front/best option?

Cheers

Lewis

225s are the normal standard size on the fronts.

Forgive my stupidity but what does the XL denote on the tyre?

Suitable for very overweight drivers :roll:

"XL stands for Extra Load – or is sometimes referred to as Reinforced. Essentially, tyres bearing this stamp are designed for heavy cars rather than ones that carry big loads. Not only are they constructed to cope with weight, but also the higher tyre pressure these vehicles need to run at. This marking is usually found on lower-profile tyres used on large cars. It highlights the fact they are built to a higher weight rating, as there is nearly always a standard version in the same size in the maker’s range."

Cheers for that. Thought that might be the case.
