XL= reinforced or extra load tire. It may also appear as xl, EXTRA LOAD, or RF on the tire sidewall.
Because technical changes may be
made to vehicle equipment dur-
ing the model year, always com-
pare the tire size designation on
the tire pressure label on your ve-
hicle with the tires on your vehi-
cle. Make sure that the tire 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 belongs
to someone else or you bought
the vehicle with different rims/
tires or you bought the vehicle as
a previously owned vehicle.
Remember, your safety and that
of your passengers also depends
on making sure that load limits
are not exceeded. Vehicle load in-
cludes everybody and everything
178
in and on the vehicle. These load
limits are technically referred to
as the vehicle's Gross Vehicle
Weight Rating ("GVWR"). The
Gross Axle Weight Rating
("GAWR") is the maximum load
that can be applied at each of the
vehicle's two axles. The Gross Ve-
hicle Weight Rating and the Gross
Axle Weight Rating are listed on
the safety compliance sticker la-
bel located on the driver's side B-
pillar. The tire pressure label on
your Audi lists the maximum
combined weight of all of the oc-
cupants and luggage or other car-
go that the vehicle can carry. For
the location of the tire pressure
label ¢ fig .
147.
