understanding tyres
meany - 14/5/08 at 10:28 AM

i need to replace a couple of tyres on my tintop, since its AWD (posh way of saying 4x4..lol), i really want to put the same ones on again
...anyhow..the issues is that ive looked on MYtyres and there are 3 listed at the correct size and speed rating
..2 0f them have extra letters on them at the end (after the 87W).
what do they mean?.

It looks like they do run flat and extra load options for those tyres - it might just be that there's something lost in the translation, as the addresses you've linked to seem to be in German - from this PDF here:

Car Bibles are always useful.
