Unofficial fixes / workaround & after market fixes

Having looked at mine properly now, I fear these tyre sites and their classifications against registration numbers could potentially be at fault.

Two of my tyres are 104xl and two are 100. I cant check the PHEV as its long gone so Ive gone off the registration on these sites which all quote 104 XL’s.

It seems like its had two new tyres at some point in its travels and they have basically just used a tyre service who has classified them like these sites have and fitted them. It does happen when they experience damage in shipping and transfer. I dont know how these classifications are done with the online sites but my car and the previous one are all quoted as having 104 XL’s, never an option for 100.

Sadly it does mean , although my ride will get better on the rear when i put 100’s on which will be welcomed, it won't entirely solve my issues with the comfort and ride. So back to waiting for Koni and their adaptive dampers.

Rules me out of fitting some of those Pirelli All Season Noise Cancelling ones though, cant take an £800 punt on XL’s even though being an all season they ‘may’ be better but they may also be worse!
