New tires just arrived...however different load rating? Help!

I ordered a set of 4 Hankook Dynapro Atms in size P265/60/18 109T from Discount Tire Direct and just got them delivered to my house today. I looked at the labels on each tire and they are 265/60R18 114T XL's???

Is this a blessing in disguise? Or should I be pissed and contact Dicount tire? I know the tires I got have a higher load rating, but will they affect handling more/less mpg's than the P-rated tires I was supposed to get?

I don't plan on going offroading much or have anything that I tow at this time.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

 

I can't even find specs on these tires on either the Hankook website (which doesn't even have them listed??) or on Discount Tire Direct's website?

 

Anyone?

 

No LT on the side wall of the tire, it just says 265/60R18 114T. I've been doing some online research and it looks as thought that these are not P-metric sized tires but rather Euro-metric? Will this affect fitment?

I will try to adds some pictures in a few minutes.

 

P just stands for Passenger; 265/60R18 is the metric size, period. Have you called Discount yet to see what they have to say...?

 

I like them. You don't need an LT and you'll get better fuel economy, too. Mount 'em up.

 

The following is what I found on tire rack's website:

Passenger Tires
Since most P-Metric passenger tires are manufactured in the Standard Load Ranges, they will have nothing branded on their sidewalls or may be branded Standard Load and identified by an SL in their descriptions, as in P235/75R-15 SL.
Extra Load P-Metric tires will be branded Extra Load, and identified by an XL in their descriptions, as in P235/75R-15 XL.
Light Load P-Metric tires will be branded Light Load, and identified by an LL in their descriptions, as in P285/35R-19 LL.
NOTE: Only P-Metric sized tires with 45-series aspect ratios or lower may be manufactured in a Light Load configuration. Light Load tires are designed to carry less weight than Standard Load tires and have been developed for specific applications (typically when relatively large tire sizes are used as Original Equipment (O.E.) on relatively small cars or for Track & Competition DOT tires used for racing applications).

Since light truck tires are often available in multiple load ranges, the appropriate load range is identified immediately following the size's rim diameter in Tire Rack's descriptions.
LT-Metric, LT-Flotation and LT-Numeric tires are branded with their load range (Load Range E or LRE) or their ply rating (10 Ply Rated) on their sidewalls and list their appropriate load range letter in their descriptions as LT245/75R-16 E, 7.50R-15 D or 31x10.50R-15 C.

 

yeah, I agree I don't need an LT rated tire and I just wanted to make sure these wouldn't have adverse effects on my fuel economy. It's just strange because even my invoice say P265/60R-18 109T SBL Hankook Dynapro Atm RF10?

You guys think I should call Discount Tire and ask them what's up or just let it be.

 

I think you're good to go.

 

You'll be fine with those tires, but either way, why wouldn't you call them for clarity? Go to the actual source and just see what they have to say.

 

Yeah, I will call Discount Tire to see what they say. I also emailed Hankook to see if I can get the specs for the tire. They don't even have that tire option anywhere on their website.
