Default New summer tire options.

Looks like we will have two new summer tire options very soon, with the Continental's being available right now. ExtremeContact Sport Coming February 2017 Continental
I had the previous generation Continental ExtremeContact DW on my 2012 Jaguar XFR that I sold a few years ago. I really enjoyed the comfortable ride that they provided. It was those or the Michelin Pilot Super Sports and I choose the Continentals because of comfort and not the higher grip/performance that the PSS's were know for. Looks like both new generations of tires provide more of the same. I was thinking of maybe switching to the new Michelin Pilot Sport 4S but nowwhere in the marketing does it say increased ride comfort. Will probably go with the new Continentals.

Sorry should have stated which XJ I have so people know if they fit their car.

I have 2014 XJL Supercharged with 20" Kasuga's with Continental ContisportContact 3's for summer. Not a fan of the 3's.

These are my TSW winter wheels with Pirelli snows.

I'm getting very close to buying a new set of tires and will continue with Michelin Super Sports, but will probably opt for the new Pilot Sport 4 S. I love the handling and the ride.

Well if you find the ride in the PSS just fine I might assume I will as well. I will most likely wait until they're out for a few months and read some reviews. Please give us a review if you do indeed purchase them in the near future.

Not sure what pricing/availability looks like today, but back in early Feb I picked up a staggered set of 20" ContinExtremeContact for $500 shipped from Tire Rack.

Hard to beat!

Just realized I have the 20" Orona Polished, not that anybody was really wondering, ha. Putting my summer wheels back on this week, can't wait to have summer tires back on!
