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.

Linglong Green Max 225-45-17- Jaguar X Type 2.5SE 6,000 miles February 25, 2017
an all round good tyre that offers value for money .
i use them on an all wheel drive jaguar .
they are excellent in the wet as they are in the dry road noise is very low and on new roads all you can here is the engine.
I've used these tyres many times before from being on a 2.5 sri to a normal 1.8 ford Mondeo .
i normally get over 10000 miles from a full set of these .
id recommend them to all who are looking for some thing that offers max grip in the rain and on dry roads and don't want to have loads of road noise ..would i get them again yes i would will be ordering my next set very soon ready to put on the car when i need them

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 2 225-45-17-W Jaguar X Type 2.5SE 27,000 miles November 20, 2015
Brilliant tyres, although the particular design is considered a bit old now, it is the 2nd time I 've fitted these on my Jaguar X-Type, never had any issue with them. Fantastic in all respects.

Nexen N6000 205-55-16- Jaguar X Type 2.5SE 500 miles November 2, 2012
had these on a couple of months now so thought i would give some feedback. cant realy comment on wear yet as not been on long, the x type is renound for wearing tyres so i will keep you informed. to be fair im very pleased with my purchaice, these are budget tyres and to honest these could be premium tyres as i find they performe better than the pirelli that they replaced. allthough my car is all wheel drive the grip these are giveing is very posative wet or dry, cornering very controlled, pushed into corners at speed i havnt had any dramas. noise, well wot noise, again better than the previous tyres fitted. in conclusion i was expecting a typical budget performance but im getting premium rewards for half the money. i would and will buy these again.

Syron Race 1 plus 225-45-17-W Jaguar X Type 2.5SE 8,000 miles April 5, 2012
i brought the set of tyres last year online (and very competive price) they have done approx 7/8000 miles i still have a good amount of tread on them i was amazed how quiet the tyres are as i took off goodyear eagle f1's which a found good but noisy on the motorway.I would definatly reccomend them i took a chance as they havent been out long and found that they are better than my previous tyres and saving of £96 on the total cost was a bonus i have now put them on the wifes fiesta too (she had contis on) if you are thinking of getting a good tyre at a reasonable cost i would say try syron.

Pirelli P ZERO Asimmetrico 225-45-17-W Jaguar X Type 2.5SE 35,000 miles August 6, 2010
I'm on the second set. First set lasted 25,000 all round. Tyres wear very well but as they age the noise from them increases. By about 15,000 miles it sounds like the wheel bearings have gone. Replacement tyres cured the noise but as they are wearing again the noise is coming back.

Avon ZV3 205-55-16-V Jaguar X Type 2.5SE 41,000 miles December 5, 2007
Excellent grip in wet & dry conditions. A little experience in snow but in the AWD Jaguar X-Type I've had no problems. A quiet tyre and comfortable. Wear is good so far after around 15000 miles. Price is very competitive. These Avons are far better than the Pirelli's P6000's I had previously. Strongly recommend.
