Tyre ratings

[Smithy860]

<div class="bbWrapper">Hey all,<br /> I recently bought this van to carry around our kids and dogs.<br /> 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.<br /> 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.<br /> When I checked, I made sure that the 101s combined would take 1650 and they do at 825kg each.<br /> I noticed it had 101XL before I changed the<br /> <br /> Have I made a mistake?</div>

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