hi all

i have Pirelli 285/30/ZR20’s Jaguar rated  on the car and  I need to replace the rear pair soon

would members recommend sticking to the same brand all round and if I went to another brand for the rear two what would members recommend 

the car is in light use all the year round doing about 3000 miles per year 

thanks

Hi David. I have had Continental Sport Contact on mine for six years now, the present set being replaced a few months ago.

I am very happy with them, but of course we all drive differently, so may have different requirements. I do a similar mileage to yourself (though only 800 this year) and drive as a Grand Tourer, though in a spirited manner.

I have always stuck to the same brand all round, though would probably change an axle at a time if the tyres on an axle had loads of tread left: I did replace the fronts at the same time as the backs: They could have waited another year, but were getting fairly near to the point where I would have changed them anyway.

Thanks very much most helpful

 

As advised on another forum I replaced my rears (Pirelli) with Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S about 6 months ago and I'm delighted with them.

When I bought the car, it was fitted with 295/35 R20 Y tyres, so I replaced like for like.

I bought them from Blackcircles at £350 for the pair including fitting.

Many thanks.David
