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 labe l on your vehicle w ith the
tires on your vehicle . Make s ure that the t ire
size information on the vehicle label is the
same as the size of the tires on the vehicle.
This is especially important if the vehicle be-
longs to someone else or you bough t the veh i-
cle with different rims/tires or you bought the
ve hicle 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
vehicle. These load lim its are technically refer-
red to as t he vehicle 's Gross Vehicle We ight
Rating ("GVWR"). The Gross Axle Weight Rat-
ing ("GAWR") is the maximum load that can
be applied at each of the vehicle's two axles .
The Gross Vehicle Weight Rating and the
Gross Axle Weight Rating are listed on the
safety compl iance sticker label located on the
driver's side 8-pillar. The tire p ressure labe l on
yo ur Audi lists the max im um combined
weight of all of the occ upants and luggage or
othe r ca rgo that the vehicle can carry. For the
location of the tire pressure label ~ fig .
