Best Tyres for the Jaguar XF S

Have always bought continental sports for my car as its what it came with new. Every year since I have needed new tyres, they wear fast and every MOT they failed with bulges in the wall. This year I bought Pace Alventis. They look great, handle the same if not better than the continental. They are super quiet on the mway, and 12 months later they still look new. Wet grip and winter ice not an issue handles great

The Tomket tyres rated B & C @ £55 each replaced Pirelli's at £200 each, they are quieter, provide better ride comfort and handling. The grip is as good as Pirelli tyres and for a budget tyre they're tremendous value for money.

Had these on my XF Sportbrake for 16,000 miles now with still plenty of tread depth left. Not quite as good as Pilot sports, contisports and F1s for dry road performance, but not by much. Where they excel is in the wet where they are just superb with very little aqua planning at speed, just amazing! They are a nice looking tyre as well with an aggressive sidewall style. They won’t give you the longevity of a Michelin or Goodyear tyre but they are a very good cheaper alternative to the higher cost premium brands.

I had these on my rear-wheel-drive Jaguar when I left the Uk in January 2024, as soon as we hit France is started snowing, the snow settled by the time we were in Holland and increased in intensity, the snow was sometimes Icy, slushy and deep as we drove across Europe. In Germany on the autobahns the snow was preyty heavy and the car always felt stable and grippy. Hitting Poland, it was very snowy, ended up off the motorway and headed south into the mountains. Google took us on every little windy steep hill road it could find, I was worried the car would not cope, but it did. The tyres worked and we got safely to my destination. Definitely will buy the tyres again, oh I have.

I had a 4wheel alignment when these tyres were fitted. For motorway / straight line driving, without sudden lane changes these tyres have been good and quiet. However, with a rear wheel drive car, with high torque I've found these tyres to break traction faster in both wet and dry than previous Continental Contact Sport 5. Wet handling has not provided the same confidence as the Continentals too. Comfortable tyres on a smooth good surface, but you have to be alert if you want to make quicker manoeuvres on the motorway or on fast A / B roads. I'd say performance has been consistent over the life time of the tyre, so not noticing reduced performance with wear. Sadly I'll be happy to swap these soon for another brand soon.

When I purchased my car unfortunately these tyres were fitted. Over 7000 miles of driving with these tyres I can say the following. On dual carriageway driving notable roar from the tyres is magnified even on new smooth tarmac. B road driving the tyres detract from what should be a fun drive, no progression from what the tyres are capable of to the limit and in the wet these tyres are frankly dangerous. Over the 7000 miles I've noticed fairly quick wear although even, the sidewalls look as though unhappy with the weight of the car. Overall even as a cheap option on a every day car I wouldn't touch these, I certainly wouldn't put these back on my car! Pirelli P-Zeros being fitted 30/05 can't wait.

Manage to get 12 months out of these on rear of xf sportbrake 3.0d s, found to be a great bargin, 13000 miles and held up great, in wet and conditions, and found geeat in dry, and I often put jag through its paces, Comfy quite to .and will by a again as current economy climate. Tyre last longer on fronts

Overall I have found these tyres ok. I have never had a problem with traction wet or dry with my Jaguar XF S v6 D Sportbrake and have found them reasonably comfortable and responsive. I would say they are fairly noisy at a cruise and I’m not particularly delighted with the wear rate. I have had them on for 13,000 miles on the rear and am now replacing for Michelin pilot sport 4S which I hope will last longer.

Diesel-powered car with almost 300 HP and more than 600Nw measured 245/45 / R18. These tires have only one drawback. In agile driving (dry) they have little transversal grip in curves, which causes me a continuous intervention of the electronic control system of the car, especially on the rear axle. This occurs only in joyful driving, not in quiet driving, and makes it impossible to take advantage of the car's true power, as the strong support when cornering is mission impossible. In all other respects, dry braking , loudness, precision , works really well. In the wet it doesn't have this cornering support problem and subjectively it seems (I haven't actually measured it) that you can go faster in the corners than in the dry. In fact, if I go fast in the wet, the car's DSC barely blinks on occasion, while in the dry it does not stop intervening strongly. In other aspects in the wet, such as braking or hydroplaning, it also maintains a good performance. At the moment with about 10,000 km the wear is very little so I think they will last.

Jaguar XF Sportbrake 3.0S, currently 68k with full dealer history. Replaced all four tyres with properly marked and recommended for Jaguar, Dunlop SP's. They are ABSOLUTE RUBBISH ! DO NOT BUY !! They have done about 6K in 18 months and have severe cracks around every tread channel which were noticed about 4 months ago. The tyre dealer who put in the complaint was told the cracks are only superficial and not in any way a hazard or deflect from the performance of the tyre and the car should be driven as normal. This is very hard to believe given the apparent depth of the cracking! They certainly don't inspire confidence in using the 270bhp we bought the car for and are being changed for Pirelli's this week.
