When I say load I am talking about the weight that the tire can handel. That being vehicle weight and the stress when say cornering at 35mph. If the tire is not rated high enough for your vehicle then it could fail. Looks like it has a 107 rating which matches OEM numbers

When you have the steering wheel completely on lock(cranked all the way) are you rubbing your fenders on the inside?

Thanks for all the input you are providing.

I think it has exact same numbers as the Dunlops that i had before, so it should be fine, i guess if it was on Turbo S then it should not have problems with my X.

I just turned the wheel all the way in both directions and it does not rub, i will check again tomorrow.

How is it in general, if you have wider tires in front does the car corner/handle better? Is it stickier or not? In other words, will it handle better now, that i have 295's in front, instead of 285's before that?

Just like i sayd in the very first post, they where take from Porsche, and when i checked on tyre rack, it seems to be AUDI aproved.

It does not say anything about runflats, and thats why i think the ride seems to be softer.

What do you guys think? I'm going again tomorrow to sort this thing out.
