Help!!

I'm new to land rovers and have recently purchased a freelander 2. I've just bought 4 new tyres and had them fitted last week. I went for the Goodyear wrangler all weather tyres. I know they are like marmite and you either love them or hate them. However I didn't get XL ones and now I'm panicking that I've just wasted £400 on tyres! Do you have to have XL tyres on a freelander 2?

I'd not worry, as long as they're rated for the vehicle weight.
I normally go for the XL or highest load rating for the size, as the side walls are a bit thicker and so stronger.

Having said that, mine is currently sitting on a set of 104 load rated tyres, although it did come with them.
When they're in need of replacement, I'll get 108 load rating tyres, as the cost difference is negligible.
