Has Anyone Used XL (Extra Load) Tyres on a 406?

Hello,
I will be in the market for new tyres in the near future. Have been looking online, some of the least expensive options for new tyres include XL/ reinforced tyres. I don't need reinforced tyres as I never carry anything heavy. I was just considering them as a.budget option.
Has anyone any experience of using XL tyres on their 406? I understand there's a trade off between XL possibly lasting longer against increase in fuel consumption & noise level etc, but depending on reviews some say it's minimal.
Black Circles currently offering £50 per corner fitted on Event Potentum Tyres on 205 / 55 / R16 / 94 W. XL
Not sure if XL are suitable for 406 Hdi & the limo-like ride you get on decent standard tyres, but car is 18 years old now & just had some outlay on welding & new timing belt, so considering budget options.
Would be interested to hear from anyone who has tried XL tyres on their 406. Or any budget tyre recommendations. Thanks.
