Having just got my 1999 XKR have noticed that the fitted tyres, although correct size are Continental (brand new)on rear and Nankang Ultrasport (2000 miles)on front. I want to have 4 tyres from same manufacturer, my question is what would be best option, get 2 Continental for the front or 2 Nankang for the rear?
Many thanks
Nigel

Re: Which tyres to keep on newly purchased XKR
Having had an XKR, I would stick to the Continentals on the rear, so change the front to Continentals. Rear grip is ultra important on the XKR. The Continentals are reasonably quiet, wear well and give good grip in most conditions.
