Only tyre I can get that's Jaguar rated here is DUNLOP , Good tyres on the car though , I do like them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huggins 17 Posted November 8, 2019 Michelin Pilot Sport 4s. I don't have any spinning up problems with these away from a standing start etc. Great tyres for the car - imagine they will transform your cars characteristics in the wet . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Been there done Pilots on my previous XFR ,shredding the Pilots was my problem Good tyre but longevity wasn't their strong point Think its the dry grip or lack of ,that was my problem , seeing as I only drive 99% of the time in dry weather I went back to Dunlops . Cant see the point of driving it in the rain with the extra power it carries ,touching base at close to 700 bhp at remap , Church ladies in Punto's leave me at the lights in the rain plus it gets dirty Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark101 536 Posted November 8, 2019 Might as well fit some Continentals because every time I leave a roundabout at anything above tick over in this weather, I end up driving on the Continental side of the road I got left by a Fiat 500 on a roundabout today.

Young guy in his BMW 420 i convertible edging ahead thought i was in a diesel XF i think , Made his eyes water when i left the lights bet his girlfriend still laughing at him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CCC 31 Posted November 26, 2019 Just swapped the X5 at £800 for a set of tyres every two years for a 335i. Upside is cheaper tyres, downside is I daren’t floor yet on these damp roads. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
