XKRS Traction Problems
I purchased a 2015 XKRS with 5K miles about 7 months ago. Love the car and the color (FRB) but once the temperature fell below 70 Degrees F it's ability to hook up was terrible. I literally couldn't even cross an intersection without breaking the rear tires loose. I have a new Z06 Corvette and a couple of year old Cadillac CTSV that both have Michelin Super Sport tires and have little problems so I replaced the OEM P-Zero's with the Michelins. Low an behold the world has returned to it's correct orbit. Whoever at Jaguar thought that PZeros were a good idea should go to work for Kia or some other low performing car company. Just a tip, if your having traction problems get the Pirelli's off and find a dumpster to store them in.

I seem to recall my XK came with Dunlop summer sport tires that couldn't stick if the road was made of flypaper. After a couple of hair-raising experiences I switched to Nito Motivos and they hug the road amazingly well. You'll find as many opinions on tires here as there are members.
