Ordered the best tyres on the market? Yoko AD08's!

[G.P]

You ordered the wrong tyre - the load rating should be 92 for a Leon and not 88.

Should they not also be Y or ZR rated?

This is true. Insurance companies employ people like me to inspect cars after a collision. The first thing I check is tyres. Not just tread depth, but speed and load rating too.

Incorrect load index will fail an MOT (a keen tester). My LCR has a 91 XL load rating. Its not just static weight the tyre needs to support, but also cornering stress. Bottom line...dont risk it. Dont give your insurance an excuse to not to pay out.

Do you also check Porsche/Merc's tyre's to see if they are N and M rated?

W Speed rating is fine they are good for 168 MPH.

I don't order the tyres but when the service manager asks we give them speed rating and size. Never load rating

The MLR sell the AD08 and the blurb says 88W is the correct load rating for the Evo so I would have thought they would be OK for the Cupra. However if you're unsure you could check with Yokohama?

For price, cheapest I always find for tyres is Camskill.com!

a large proportion of the Castle Combe Saloon series grid use AD08 in 17" and 18", they get a proper battering there in terms of heat and impact (running on and over the kerbs) but I've not seen one fail yet
