Wonder if anyone could tell me what the original fitment tyres were for the 19" Apollo Wheels please? I suspect they were Pirelli but I am unsure as to whether or not they were Asimmetrico?
Thanks - Ian

According to the Vehicle Care Book I have for MY2002 the specified tyres for 19" Apollo wheels are:
Front - Pirelli P Zero 245/10 ZR 19 98Y Direzionale
Rear - Pirelli P Zero 255/10 ZR 19 100Y Asimmetrico
In the last 20 years or so there has been much advancement in tyre design. I found that the best tyres I used on my MY2002 4.0 XK8 with 18" wheels were Goodyear Eagle F1's - They remained consistent right down to the legal tread depth limit.
