Focus Mk3 tyre loading/speed

Hi all,

My focus mk3 (2011, 1.6 petrol, 125 bhp) came new with 215 / 50 R 17, 95 W extra load spec tyres (has the appearance pack) and I've continued to use these.  However, just had the fronts changed at the garage and they've put on same size tyre, but 91 V rated instead.  I get that the speed rating between V and W isn't going to be an issue for me, but worried about the load rating being lower and not "extra load" reinforced (I don't tow anything though)....should I get them changed?  If not an issue any ideas why Ford put the XL on as standard in the first place?

Views appreciated...

Cheers, Mike
