Extra load tyres needed for MPV?

I have a 1998 2.3 Ford Galaxy and have been told by someone that they have to have extra load tyres on them. Could you verify this or is it just a recommendation?

No, but would say that it would be wise to fit them because of the loads it might carry and because of its centre of gravity. Michelin Agilis the best.
