MG ZT-T Tyres

[Grizzly_Law]

I am in need of a full set of tyres for my MG ZT-T. I have the 2.5 V6 190+, will these do ?

... Kumho KU31 225 45 R18 ... someone has mentioned i might need XL tyres, what does this mean and do i need them ??

Cheers

Work fine on my CDTi.

I think the 'XL' thing refers to tyres spec'ed for extra load bearing applications and used to be required by some light commercials and estate cars (I vaguely recall they were "recommended" for my dad's old Escort MK1 Estate if it was used at or near maximum, capacity on a regular basis). MG don't put any such qualification on their tyre recommendations, they seem unlikely to be available in a size aimed squarely at high performance applications, and the Tourer isn't much different in weight/payload capacity to the saloon so I don't think I'd worry about it too much.
