Correct!
In comparison, if a 5.5R feels like a 9x1, then the 5.5L feels like a 9x4.
If I was running a 5.5R in my car, then went to another track which was slippier, in the past I would have gone to a 6.5R to tame it, but now we have the 5.5L I would be able to use this, and it becomes very driveable in low grip yet top speed is still as quick as the R.
But, as it happens, I always find the 5.5R too aggressive for 2wd anyway so I run the 5.5L almost exclusively.
