The standard stock tyres according to manual are 97R tyres, so you should be fine with those. The load rating of 97 (730 kg each) is the same and the speed rating is approx 12mph better than stock.

Not sure what you mean by that. What make / model of tyre are you looking at?

set of winter tyres.
My current summer tyres state they are reinforced, these don't. so not sure if they need to be reinforced?

XL stands for extra load which is basically the same as reinforced.
