Default Mandated Intro

I am where the Buck stops for the wife's 2006 xk8 jaguar convertible.
I found your group while searching for wheel and tire replacement. Up until now we have bought tires from the Louisiana dealership, but after another tire failure I reached the " tipping point ". I am now convinced that I must learn more about this beautiful vehicle. Knowledge is the best form of consumer protection. Without bashing the people who have maintained her vehicle exclusively, I have already learned that the factory specified tire sizes were not installed , smaller ones were. I have learned that wheels , tires and lug nuts are delicate components and that they are not available as commonly as on typical motor cars. I am also convinced that I will enjoy keeping this xk8 in great shape for many years to come.

We also have a Honda Ridgeline and a Chevy Suburban as daily transportation.
A 1952 Ford f-1 panel delivery truck and a 1957 Chevy Belair are patiently waiting for the day when I find the time to restore them.

Hello and welcome,

You've come to the right place. More knowledge = less $$
