295/35R21 107W GEOLANDAR X-CV G057 R4550

 

Considering putting a set on do they need to be xl or 4x4 tyres for my 2010 q7 just states there for premium suv .

 

 

All help appreciated thanks mark new to the 4x4 thing 

Hello Mark,

I would be surprised if the required specification wasn’t XL. 
Have you checked that, and whether your current ones are XL? 
Kind regards,

Gareth. 

Hi @Magnetthanks for swift reply buddy 

 

 

Current ones dynamo

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And the ones I have been looking at just say summer tyre but in description say made for performance suv

 

Thanks Mark,

The load rating of the Geolander is the same as your current Dynamo? (Chinese?) tyres - both 107. My guess is that Geolander might (in caps) also be XL although not stated to be. 
An interesting question now emerges:- can you have tyres which have the same load rating, but not guaranteed to be XL? 
My first port of call would be to e-mail your question to the supplier - they may well be marked XL, but that has been omitted from the written description. 

Let us know how you get on Mark.

Kind regards,

Gareth. 

After but more digging black circles had more info then asda but more expensive per tyre ...

 

Seem decent price for size of tyre and brand with no needing or changing winters.

Have you tried National Tyres/ Halfords for their deals? We had a really good deal on a set of Pirelli Scorpion all season tyres recently for  a family member’s 4x4. 
The previous set had performed so well that there simply wasn’t any debate about alternative brands. 
Kind regards,

Gareth.
