Default Higher Profile Tires for 2005 XK8

Hi All,


Looking for tire suggestions for my 2005 XK8, running the factory recommended tires, 245/40 on the front, and 255/40 on the back, on 19 inch stock rims.


Considering a taller profile tires to fill out the wheel well a bit more. This is my daily driver in the summer. Don't a need a z rated tire, and am willing to sacrifice a bit of performance for aesthetics.


I'm new to the forum, and your input is greatly appreciated!


Kind regards,
Johnell

Default Welcome to Jaguar Forums

Welcome Johnell. Greetings from Jaguar fans in Australia, and it's great to have you join us. Others closer to your beautiful railway town in the Colorado Rockies will be along shortly to add their welcome and advice. Can I offer a tip that will reward you enormously in all your future JaguarForum activities ...
  • as an XK8 owner, you will have worked out that that Forum is the place to browse or ask for technical advice, but the fact you have an XK8 will be lost in future ... unless, you add your car details to your signature (see mine) with model, year, engine variant, any other mods - all of which ensures that those advising you are accurate and relevant. Go to <User CP> on the Main Menu bar; work down and click on <Edit Signature>. Similarly, you can add a logo or pic to your avatar. Done once, now each of your posts will carry them permanently.
All that remains is to see you dive in ... and enjoy,
Ken

Welcome to the forum Johnell,

Good to have you with us at Jaguar forums.

I can see you have already found your way to the XK8/XKR tech forum so there's no need for a link to it from me.
The 'HOW TO' thread at the top is a good place to start for info on regular issues.

Please remember to add vehicle details to your Signature to help others to give relevant advice. Go to the User CP button on the left of the top menu bar, then Settings & Options under Your Control Panel. Select Edit Signature and enter the details.

You can also visit the USA Central Region forum by following this link USA Central - MT WY CO ND SD NE KS - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum
to find other members in your region.

Enjoy the forums.

Graham
