Confused by tyre size

[hostman]

Hi,

 

I need a new front left tyre, image of it:

 

 

Some tyre sites take notice of the speed rating, others just the load, some not the load.

 

Sites like etyres want to sell me a reinforced tyre, but I'm not sure if the right is reinforced or not:

 

 

Just need the one tyre as the car has spent the last 5 weeks at a body shop for repairs after an accident.  The repair shop replaced the drivers side front tyre with a new one.

Also, the alloy damage on the left wasn't by me, previous owner :P

Just get another of the same for the passenger side?

Trying to, but it seems it varies from site to site wether or not you choose speed rating or load rating.

 

I'll go with 205/40 R17 W (84), seems right.

you want a 205/40 ZR 17,  84 W ,  so be sure to get the ZR, 'W'.  If its a tyre to match the other and its a ZR , 'W'.

 

 the 84, W, and will be marked.

 

Is it Dunlop Sports Maxx  you have to match ?   (*XL is the 'reinforced mark'.* Extra Load.)
