Hi
Have just purchased a 2001 x-type 3L and was wondering if anybody could confirm the correct tyre size for this vehicle

Thanks in advance

 

I have a 2005 I think they have 16,17 and 18 inch tires. Mine are 17 and the correct size are 225/45 hr17.

 

Welcome to the forum! You might want to stop by our New Member Area - Intro a MUST - Jaguar Forums - Jaguar Enthusiasts Forum and introduce yourself.

Tyre sizes for the X-Type 3.0L are;

205/55R16
225/45R17
225/40R18

There is a sticker in the left front door jamb, which also shows the sizes & pressures.

 

I have to tell you, I put 225/50/17 on my car. I'm so happy I did. If I have two larger adults in the back seat it will rub if I go over a bump but as little leg room we have back there nobody rides there. Kids don't affect it but my ride is so much smoother than when I had the smaller size tire. And I think they look better too. Great ride.

 

Thanks guys for yr info.
Am just finding my feet with car, but once sorted, will post some pics on here

 

Your current tyres should have the exact tyre size written on the sides, so thats a good place to start if you want like for like.

I'd then go to a website like tyre shopper (this is a uk one, but im sure the us have many similar.)

Tyre Shopper | spree default

Here you can compare economy, noise, performance, review etc. Well worth a visit. you can also compare and buy online, then turn up at the local garage you've chosen and have them fitted. Saves a lot of mucking about. Worth getting some quiet ones in my opinion. I shoved some cheapo ones on my car whn I first got them. They're lasting well, but dont perform too well and ARE VERY NOISY AT HIGH SPEEDS.

cheers,

 

thks for yr reply
