Well the tyres are reinforced (XL) to suit the higher load ratings (107 and 111 for mine, being the 7 seater) so the only ones suitable for mine without going RFT........

Had them fitted this morning.  Prior to fitting I measured them and got the spirit level out etc - identical RR front and rear (taken on a level surface):

Got to say, the difference in ride is nothing short of astonishing.  Seriously - what was a rock hard crashy tooth shattering ride before is now actually quite soft (like you'd expect from an SUV), but obviously still firm due to the sports suspension, imperfections in the road are now largely imperceptible. Even parking the car on my drive I could barely feel the dropped kerb as I went over it.  The car is now truly pleasant to drive.

RFT's are the devil.....
