| Some tyre manufacturers have for some time replaced the
designation “Reinforced” with the designation “Extra Load”. This
designation has long been standard in non-European countries.

| Some tyre manufacturers also use the designation “XL” for
Extra Load tyres. |
| Tyres with the designation “Reinforced” or “Extra Load (XL)”
are of equal quality. |
| V winter tyres marked XL have a higher load capacity than V
winter tyres without this code. |
| XL V winter tyres allow a higher speed, but this does not
mean that the top speed of a V tyre is 240 km/h for every
vehicle. |
| The same conditions apply to these tyres as to V winter
tyres without a special code! |
