I will be changing my tires very soon as there wearing out quite quickly (i do have have a heavy right foot ) I currently have dunlop sports max and was wondering what other tires people use 

Hi Robert,

I changed from Pirellis to Goodyear Eagle Assimetric on my S Type and find them rather quiet with good roadholding in the wet.  Them came top in a survey with Vreestein a close second.

However, there are other tyres which members use and they will give your their opinions.

Regards,

Peter.

cheers peter,that's what im hoping for it would be nice to see what others are using before i go and get a set.

 

I had Vredstein Sessantas on my XF3.0D S, and found them superb both in wet and dry.

My XK came with new Continentals which are absolutely fine, but I don't think they are quite as good as the Vredsteins.

Vredsteins tend to be quite reasonably priced for quality tyres, but maybe wear a bit more quickly: Soft grippy rubber never can last as long as a harder compound.

Conti's are good tires but they seem to have soft sidewalls.

I have personally used Dunlop Sports Max on both the Xk and the XKR. The winter tyre version is very good in wet or light snow.

When I come the replace the XKR tyres I will probably go for Michelin Pilot Sport 4 - have always had good results with Michelins on all previous cars.

Interesting to note though that the original spec tyres for the XKRS GT were Pirelli P0 Corsa - I understand they were very good too.
