    Correct tyre size for my Audi A4 B8 2010

    Hi
    I'm thinking of replacing my Audi tyres, but read about insurance can be invalidated if we don't put manufacturer recommended tyre sizes. I'm a bit puzzled as I can't find this information in the manual or online. I have no idea what the manufacturer put initially as I'm not the first owner. The tyre size is 225/50/R17 but I'm not sure about the speed and load rating. Currently it has got a mix (98W XL, 98Y and 98V). In some forums people are expressing views as even going lower with speed rating is BIG CRIME. Can someone please advice.
    Thanks

    Is that a law in the UK? Also i believe its 98Y, Y=186 mph.

    I found the sticker too, but it shows 3 different sizes, does it mean all 3 supported.

    Yes, but it depends are you using normal ones 225/50/R17 , m+s or xl m+s... If you using summer ones use 94Y. It has to be very hard case if insurance will start checking this after accident!

    thats my:
