Chaps,
I know tyre questions have been done to death (I've read most of 'em!), so apologies.....
I need to replace a front tyre on the GS and in looking for a replacement, I'm getting a bit lost in terms of availability.
I've currently got 235/35/19 91Y P Zero Rosso's on, which are the tyres in the owners manual. In looking at getting the same tyres, there's better prices for the same tyre but with a lowe load (87).
The question is, what's the manufacturers spec? The manual doesnt have the load rating in at all. Are there implications (I'm thinking insurance wise) of going for 87 over 91?
To be fair, the difference is only £40 so not the end of the world, but if I look at other tyres, I'ld like to understand the load.
Note, I bought Falkens for the rear but have been advised by someone whos opinion I value to stick to a better brand going forwards.
Advice appreciated.
Cheers
Woody
