Still amazed how these have transformed my old classic V12, rides really well and the wet grip (no ABS) is fantastic...

Fitment comes from each tyre's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Jaguar Sovereign V12 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I went from 55 profile to 60 profile tyres 102W W rated (55 profile were ZR rated and the ride was awful) on 16", originally my classic came with 15" 70 profiles. These tyres immediately made the car drivable, not once did I have to slow down from crests dips, pot holes etc. The handling on long curves was impressive, steering feedback improved and comfort back to where my old XJ V12 should be. I will no longer be buying mid range tyres will be more mindful in specifying my rubbers!
