An update on my previous review. I completed 12000 miles on the Avon ZV7's. They were fitted to the front of my Jag and were very close to the limit. I drive all types of roads and they coped very well in all weather's. I was impressed overall but I still think Goodyear make a better all round tyre. The tyres were in good shape after the hard miles they did and if you are looking for a great mid range tyre with top level abilities for a lower price, go with these.

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 X Type Estate 2.0D drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Recently bought these to replace some worn out Falken Eurowinter 439, these were ok, but felt more like an all season than a winter tyre.
So first impressions of the Dunlops, I did a few hundred gentle miles to get them scrubbed in so they are now ready for action. It's only just started getting cold and they are noticeably getting better the colder it gets (like all winter tyres)
The warmish October and November haven't given me any concerns, they work just fine. Only done about 2000 miles so far so no discernible wear.
They are fairly noisy (the Falkens were very quiet)and sound like a landrover with military tyres fitted. At around 60-70 mph they hum like a shot wheel bearing. No biggie though, I just turn the radio up!
I will report back after some more extensive usage when the Daily Fail 'worst winter in 50 years' hits us

These are excellent tyres for the money. Their straight line stability is first class compared with expensive tyres and I have just bought some more.
Fitted to my X-type estate and have been very nice to drive on generally as well as good in the snow. They have lasted amazingly well
Had a set of these on my car for a couple of weeks now. First impressions were that they look like a much more expensive tyre than their low price suggests, but driving was not great as the sidewalls are very soft and they made the car feel floaty.
I inflated them to the recommended pressure for high speed driving and now they feel fine.
Very quiet an the ride quality is excellent - I drive on a lot of pot holed roads and they're really good.
Can't comment on wear yet, but they're so cheap you could afford to change them twice as often as a lot of the premium brands

34000 milles 0n Jag from new still 0ver 2mm left and I don't hang about.
Best wearing tyres I ever had. I used to get 10000 or there abouts especially when I was driving a scubi

Fine in the dry, not so when it rains, hard to get any power down and cornering is bad. Noisy, not very comfortable and ware was very fast for me, 5k miles!
Just gone from Pirelli 6000 to these, and the difference is huge. The x-type seems like a much better car. The big differences are the confidence from the extra grip and the comfort. Superb. I'd recommend them to any x-type owner looking to stop the crashiness over bumps and the vague steering you get with the pirellis. Early days, but a massive improvement.
Moved to these tyres following a poor performance from the stock Pirelli PZero's fitted. Initially rather cautious given the other ratings on this site and the cost saving (?100 per tyre rather than ?130 for the Pirelli's). However it appears my fears were unfounded; the car handles as well if not better than the Pirelli's, road noise is drastically reduced and the tyres look good too. They've only been on the car for a couple of months/2000 miles so I'm reserving judgement on the wear rates for now, but don't appear to be dwindling too fast. In summary, recommended for my car!
