Tyre Pressures

Postby Billys » Mon Aug 13, 2012 5:15 pm

The Jaguar Hand book is confusing to say the least (or is it me?)

Can someone plse advise tyre pressures front & back for my 2001 X308 3.2 Sport

Tyres are: 225/55 16

Thanks, Billy

Know what you mean but apparently it all depends on what 'type' of tyres you have fitted, whats on yours billy ?

Billy,

I don't know if you have a later handbook to mine. I've copied the page from mine below which seems fairly self-explanatory:

Most Jaguars of that era have two pressure recommendations "Maximum Comfort" & "Normal". I always run mine at the higher levels ie 32psi Front / 34 psi Rear.
