Tyres and Tyre Sizes

Postby charliefbooth » Fri Oct 07, 2022 12:00 pm

Hi Everyone, I recently bought a used F-Type V6S AWD, which I am enjoying immensely.

The issue is the tyres are not in good shape, so I am going to need to replace all 4 of them. From doing some research a lot of folk recommend changing out the standard Pirelli P-Zeros for something like the Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. However, I cannot find the exact size for the front tyres in the Michelin range, and I have 12 month Jaguar warranty on the car which I am keen not to void. So my queries are:

1. Are there any particular tyres for the F-Type anyone would recommend?
2. Am I OK to put tyres on that are 5mm wider or narrower than the current ones (255 front, 295 rear)?
3. Would a different size and different make of tyre void the jaguar warranty?

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Cheers

Charlie,

Have you got the 295/35 R20 tyres on the car? They seem readily available in the Pilot Sport 4S tyre.

My apologies Paul, error in my typing. It's the fronts I'm struggling to find. I'll amend the post above.

Fronts are 255/35 R20
Rears are 295/30 R20

Charlie,

A quick Google and they still seem to be available at all the big retailers (except Black Circles, unusually?), even Asda tyres.
