It is maeasured from the moment when I released the brake pedal and I measured 0-100km/h, so 0-60 mph is even better, but of course some GPS timing equipment would be better.
This was with Pirelli PZERO which have very bad traction.
I think with Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 and Crank Pulley + ECU Tune I should be able to make 0-60 under 4 seconds.

I haven't dyno'd since installing the spray kit so its not official, but I was hovering around 475 hp with the other mods and I am jetted for a 175 hp shot distro.'d from 2800 RPM through 6500 RPM. Simple math tells me I am probably in the 600HP+ ballpark. First gear launches are pure heaven now. I start with a 20% hit and build up progressively through the first six gears. Don't know how much the 3.0 liter can take, but so far so good

I think I ordered the tune from VAP around December of 2016 and the pulleys got installed around March of 2017...So I would guess I ran with those mods for about a year before installing the spray kit. Got the MPS4S tires in March of 2017 also.

going on original wheels, problem was Michelin has yet to make a wider size that fits. Did a little after we reference michelin dealer site. They just don't have it yet. i think more options for 20's.

Four years !!! wow...
that will be over an inch smaller diameter. To look right, you would need to under size the front tires as well. Also, the diameter difference front to rear would cause serious issues on the AWD cars.

I've had the P4S's for about 14 months and almost 14K miles (~22.5K KM). They should probably last another 3-5 months with a corresponding 3-5K miles before I need a new set. The question then is going to be getting a set from one of my local-ish Jaguar dealers, like last time, or from tirerack.

Log on to the Tire Rack site and check out their prices, then get a quote from the dealers for the exact same tyres, and then go with whichever is cheaper.
I will bet that the Tire Rack prices are significantly cheaper than the dealer prices, although you need to factor in the fitting cost as well (and maybe the Tire Rack shipping cost if any also).
Why are you even thinking about where to get them from?
