Hi there and a warm welcome to the XJS BB.

Almcl is right, there were variations based on model.

However nowadays I think you really have only two choices, based on the original Jaguar recommendations.

If it's a six cylinder car, Pirelli P4000 215-70-VR15J these are still available despite what your dealer may tell you but have to be special ordered from Pirelli.

Some(?) twelve cylinder ( and possibly other) models were specced 235-65-VR15J..again Pirelli.

These tyres were designed specifically for Jaguar by Pirelli, hence the "J" suffix.

They should be good for 20,000 miles plus and are nice and quiet, yet retain good roadholding characteristics. expect to pay approx. £110.00ish all in per corner for the 215 types, I don't know the price/availability on the 235's.

NB Are you in the UK?
