XL stands for Extra Load. They use a more reinforced compound to carry heavier loads, but are the same size as normal tyres. If your car had XL tyres factory fitted then you must choose XL tyres for any new ones you buy.
Winter tyres perform best in temperatures below 7°C. The rubber compound is specially designed to react better in colder temperatures which improves road grip. Some winter tyres have studs to help grip on snow and ice.
These types of cars require special tyres to ensure even tyre wear throughout the lifetime of the tyre and to be able to perform on off-road conditions.
The Continental WinterContact TS 870P is a robust and reliable winter tyre that provides the ultimate safety on rain, ice and snow. This tyre has excellent grip due to improved sipe and pattern concept as well as a new tread compound which helps optimise wet performance. Benefit from high mileage and lower fuel consumption as well as lower rolling resistance with the TS870P today. Experience a reliable and safe driving experience, buy yours today online at RAC tyres.
