04 2.5 tyres - load/speed rating - brg190 pete
Just need a bit of advice please....

I need 4 new tyres for my car. Went to the tyre place this morning and said I want exactly the same as are currently on my car, which are Continental ContiSport M3, and which have a rating of 85W. So I've ordered the tyres and will get them changed on Tuesday.

Just looked in the handbook and it says to use tyres with a rating of 91V. So it looks like my current tyres don't actually agree to what's in the handbook.

Does this matter, please, or can I just use 85W? To get a higher rating will obviously be more expensive.

Thanks in advance
