Fredo is on a distinguished road
I was going to fir some Michelin Diamaris....

My E70 has the 20" Y spokes and I've had enough of the poor ride quality that the RFT's give me. Seemed like the Diamaris have decent reviews from people so I rang up a tyre centre to get a price...only to be told they are not suitable for the E70. Now I've never heard of Load Indexes but apparently the Diamaris in the correct size for the Y spokes only has a load index of 106 but the correct specification is 110. Never seen anyone say anything about this before, do people ignore this or are the people I spoke to being overly cautious ?

End of the day these load indexes must be there for a reason.

I've found a couple of other tyres that do come in the right spec

Vredestein Ultrac Sessanta
Yokohama V802

Does anyone know anything about either of these? I've never even heard of Vredstein!

Thanks
