I have a 2104 XJ and the time has come to replace the tyres.
Currently running on OEM Dunlop SportMaxx but as I have the oppoertuniy to now change them I am wondering if there are any options for me
I am in my 80's so I am not looking at fast cornering down country lanes, stopping distance and fast speeds.
My priorities now are for comfort and quietness - I like to waft !!
My wheels are 20" Kasugas.
I am not necessarily a tyre snob and prepared to accept a mid range tyre if my parameters can be met - and of course i will save some cash
Does anyone have any suggestions or experience of non OEM tyres ??
Many thanks
Richard

Hi Richard, Sometimes you can look in other model Sections to find answers to a general question, here below is a stock answer to folks looking at tyre options:

In regards to your question on tyres, this is obviously a very personal choice thing for folks and safety should be the preferred route for anyone concerned with replacement tyres. It would not be a wise move to recommend a "cheap" replacement tyre as in a litigious society, such recommendations can come back and bite - hard.

I would suggest you visit the Kwik Fit website and insert your registration number. This will bring up a list of tyres suitable for your vehicle, but still with your responsibility to check the dimension details and specification / rating are correct in accordance with your handbook or current fitment. You don't have to buy the tyres from Kwik Fit, although they often have the best prices and service availability. What this allows you to see is the range of tyre options that might work for you and you make a choice for your own particular needs / vehicle.
