Hey all,
I recently bought this van to carry around our kids and dogs.
I’m not sure if I’ve made a bit of an error. I put new Michelin's (101XL) on my Vito 447 swb 2015 recently and checked manual to make sure I put correct ones on.
But, I just checked the manual again and I looked at the wrong table , mine takes 1650 on the rear and I picked the table that only takes 1550 which says XL are fine. The 1650 says only can put C rated on (both gross at 3.05t) The door jamb states 104/102.
When I checked, I made sure that the 101s combined would take 1650 and they do at 825kg each.
I noticed it had 101XL before I changed the

Have I made a mistake?

Yeah load rated. I’m not carrying anything other than dog crates and a couple of kids.
Having checked the axle ratings, I’m spot on the lower limit of the max weight so all good.
The sticker in the door states a 104/102 and that threw me but it seems the calculations work out for a 101.
Anyways I do overthink stuff
