I just put a pair of Toyo's on the fronts. All weather. Pretty inexpensive. I dig it.

Default winter tires

I spent a lot of time trying to find 19" wheels that would fit our 2015 F Type S convertible so I could get a narrower profile winter tire. Never did find them. Ended up with CARID and getting WHITLEY Hyper Silver with Mirror Cut Lip wheels by Coventry®. 20" x 8.5", +35 Offset, 5x108 Bolt Pattern, 63.4mm Hub. All four wheels the same size. Paired them up with MICHELIN® 24417 - PILOT ALPIN PA4 (245/35R20 V) snow tires.
Haven't mounted them yet so we'll see how it goes in the snow.
Hope this helps as I spent a lot of effort trying to downsize to the 19" wheel.

"Coventry Wheels" make 19's for Jaguar, or at least they did a few years ago when I bought them for an XKR ?... ended up with Toyo winters as they have good lug for snow and ground up walnut shell that helps on ice etc... anyway, lots of good winter tire choices. All seasons would not work around here in the winter.

Yes Coventry makes 19" and 18" wheels for jaguars. Unfortunately not for the F Type.

OK, interesting.. I have not used my winter wheels on my F type R as I decided to store it and use my xe for the winter and am putting the winters on it.

I was told the bolt pattern , etc. etc. for my XKR and thus the winter tires would be good to go with the F Type ?.. anyway, looks like you have it sorted.

I am considering 19"x8.5 savini black di forza BM11's in black with all four 245/45's
Carid indicates only 20" but Savini configures for 19 inch

Update: no longer considering the Savinis. I almost bought a set as the local distributor 'confirmed' that they fit but they didn't have the model I wanted. As a result I called Savini directly. I spoke with the tech at their shop and he said none of their 19 inch rims will fit over the calipers on the 6-S. They were really helpful people and the 20s will fit of course, but not an option I want for new England winter driving. Following more searching looks like I might have to go with OEMs for 19 - not too thrilled about that.

Don't know if you can find Braelin somewhere around you, I put a set of Braelin BR02 19" x 8.5" 5/108 45 63.30 and they fit over the V8 brakes so shouldn't be a problem for the V6S.

This is not correct. They are available for the F-Type.

I've driven for about a week now on a set of Blizzak LM-32s, OEM 19" orbits. We haven't had any of the white stuff yet, but temps are in the 30s and the ride quality is excellent. Very soft and comfortable.

I can't find a place to buy these online anywhere. The places that stock this tire ... don't have the 20"
