Normal rating (91) or XL (95)?
Hi
I am looking to replace all 4 tyres on my 320d Xdrive (F30) I have decided to stay with run flats and the Pirelli Cinturato P7 seem to be a good price and gets good reviews. When I look them up I get offered two types, a normal tyre at £147 or an XL at £165. The XL is more fuel efficient and quieter but is described as being for heavier / high performance cars. My questions are: Would the XL be good for the 320d xdrive or are they for suv's etc? If the XL is OK to use, would I notice the reduced noise and more importantly would I be likely to recoup the extra cash in reduced fuel bills? Thanks in advance |

XL have stronger sidewalls. It doesn't matter too much but most of the higher performance tires for the F30 are XL for 18+ rim size although I believe the run flats are technically not.
Make sure all 4 tires match though
