Jaguar XJ - which wheels are best?
My 2010 Jaguar XJ needs new rear tyres after only 15,000 miles. It is fitted with Dunlop 275/40 ZR19 on the rear and Dunlop 245/45 ZR19 on the front. The wheels are 20-inch. Would it be possible to fit a deeper profile tyre to the existing wheels and, if so, which size/make would you recommend?

If the car is fitted with 275/40 ZR19s then it is on 19-inch wheels, not 20s. This kind of wear is normal on this profile of tyre on this type of car. You can probably buy a new set of wheels and go down to 18-inch with 50 profile on the front and 45 profile on the back, but this will be expensive. Talk to www.tyremen.co.uk

More engaging to drive than German rivals. Characterful. Diesel is very strong. Excellent overall refinement.
