Default Green Convertible In Jaguar World Mag - Tires

Hi All,

I get the eletronic version of this mag (June 2015 issues) and cannot read the tire size on the beautiful green V12 Cab (UK Reg # B2 ROE), on page 37.

Anyone with a print version could help? The tires are Kuhmo's and they are the flat the best profile (from original) that I've ever seen on our cars. There is a nice close-up that the e-version doesn't quite show clear enough.

I got a set of freshly refurb'd lattice shoes just waiting for their soles, and was going to settle on the P600000000 until I saw these..

Any help would be much appreciated!

And if you dont get this mag, you really should!!

Cheers,

Jeff

Jeff,

The paper copy doesn't really help even with a good magnifying glass!

However, I can see that they are Kumho Solus KH15 tyres. In which case, I think they must be 235/60 R16 on the 16" lattice alloys.

Hope that helps

Paul

PS It's a Convertible, not a Cabriolet!

Bummer, 16" lattice wheels I no have! ;-) That extra inch really makes the difference, pretty amazing difference, not to mention extra tire options..

I pulled the car out in the sun today and just stared at it for 15 minutes. I have come to the conclusion that the star fish wheel is absolutley horrid / ruins the lines of the car being that weird positive offset but not.

They should have just stuck with Kent alloys then transistioned to 16" lattice on everything, pushing out to 17" lattice (or some BBS variant) on the face lifts..

Thanks for the note.

Jeff
