Goodyear Eagle F1 215/45/17 Asymm 91y XL?

[Rishi]

Hello there, i've just ordered 4 of these tyres for my car that desperately needs them, I was just wondering if the 'XL' matters?
Would I have to change the psi? If so, what to?

I've been running the factory Conti's from new and they are practically slicks right now, very slippy when wet, so i'm thinking its going to feel great having some fresh rubber to burn

Thanks for any tips

It will feel better anyway. The standard Contis are not a good tyre. The XL means extra load and as a result these tyres tend to gave stiffer/stronger side walks required to support heavier vehicles.
