XL= reinforced or extra load tire. It may also appear as xl, EXTRA LOAD, or RF on the tire side-
wall .
Because tec hnical changes may be made to
vehicle equ ipment dur ing the model yea r, a l-
ways compare the t ire size designation on the
tire pressure label on your vehicle w ith the
tires on your vehicle . Make sure that the tire
size information on the vehicle label is the
same as the s ize of the t ires on the vehicle.
This is especially important if the vehicle be-
longs to someone else or you bought the veh i-
cle with different rims/tires or you bought the
veh icle as a previously owned vehicle.
Remember, your safety and that of your pas-
sengers also depends on mak ing sure that
load limits are not exceeded . Vehicle load in-
cludes everybody and everything in and on the
ve hicle. These load limits are technically refer-
red to as the vehicle's Gross Vehicle We ight
Rating ("GVWR"). The Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing ("GAWR") is t he maximum load that can
be applied at each of the vehicle's two axles .
The Gross Vehicle We ight Rating and the
Gross Axle Weig ht Rating are listed on the
safety comp liance sticke r label located on the
dr iver's side B-pillar . The tire pressu re labe l on
your Audi lists the maximum combined
weight of all of the occ upants and luggage or
other cargo that the veh icle can carry. For the
location of the t ire pressure label ¢ fig. 185.
