hi folks,this is not a trick question, this is something the garage said,(that i might need extra load tyres as it is an estate car) they also sais IF i have an accident its the 1st thing my insurance would look at to not pay out!

im sure theres nothing written on insurance could be wrong though about whether you need standard or extra load tyres on an estate just if you have defective or bald ones which may cause an accident under braking i agree with EJ22 LAD and get some goodyear f1s or toyo r888s seem a popular choice.
