Reinforced Tyres

HOW TO CHECK YOUR TYRE SIZE

You can find your car’s tyre size written on the sidewall of your current set of tyres, in your vehicle’s handbook or on a sticker in the door jam or inside the fuel cap door. When buying new tyres you should only go for ones that have these same numbers to ensure a good fit

 

Please enter your vehicle registration number or tyre size above to see reinforced tyres suitable for your vehicle. 

Reinforced Tyres

 

Reinforced tyres, also known as XL tyres, are designed for enhanced strength and durability, allowing them to carry heavier loads than standard tyres. Their robust internal construction provides extra load-bearing capacity without sacrificing grip or handling performance.

 

How do I know if a tyre is reinforced on your website?

What do reinforced tyres do?

Reinforced tyres have extra-strong beading that helps them handle heavier loads without strain. They can also hold more air, keeping their shape under extra weight. Always check your vehicle’s handbook for the correct tyre pressure (PSI).

 

Are reinforced tyres the same as run flat tyres?

No, they’re different. Reinforced tyres are built to handle heavier loads, while run flat tyres have strengthened sidewalls that let you drive briefly after a puncture.

Run flats can’t carry extra weight and shouldn’t replace reinforced tyres. Also, once punctured, run flats must be replaced, not repaired.

Characteristics of reinforced tyres

Reinforced tyres have larger, sturdier sidewalls that provide better grip and support for heavier loads. They’re great for off-road driving, though they can slightly increase fuel consumption.

You can identify them by the markings “REINFORCED” or “XL” on the tyre sidewall.

 

Why are reinforced tyres necessary?

Every tyre has a load index on its sidewall, showing the maximum weight it can safely carry. Exceeding this limit can damage your tyres or even cause a blowout.

If you often carry heavier loads than standard tyres are built for, reinforced tyres provide the extra strength and safety you need.
