Hello,
Which are better for a sportcoupe?
Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3 225/40 ZR18 92Y XL
Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3 255/35 ZR18 94Y XL
or
Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3 255/35 R18 91Y
Goodyear EAGLE F1 GS-D3 225/40 R18 91Y
Whats the benefits of having a Extra Load tire (XL)? Will sidewall be harder?
Best Regards.

depends on the weather
while the 91 is perfectly acceptable for your car the 94 will offer slightly more sidewall rigidity which in turn will give you more protection against pothole damage and crisper steering response
