Can anyone tell me the address of the best website to order Jaguar logo items and accessories? Hats, shirts, coffee cups, etc? I have been looking since January and finally found a coffee cup to order from the UK.

I have worn out the stock tires on my car and wanted better replacements than the Continentals it came with. I was looking at the Michelin Pilot Super Sport. We're keeping the 18" rims for now. Is there something else I should take a look at before I order these?

 

I can only address the tires......we are speed limited because of them. If you tend to drive on the fast side and or live somewhere where it gets hot for long stretches then I'd look at higher speed rated tires than the Continentals(which I think are H (about 130 mph)).

I really like Yokohama tires.....I started w/them 20 years ago on my motorcycles and then started putting them on my vehicles. When it's time to change I'll be looking at the ADVAN and AVID Envigor tires by them. They're both really nice all season performance (as you can get) tires. The tread life of the AVID Envigors should be the better of the two.

If you are looking for pure summer performance - grab a set of Yokohama ADVAN sports.

For daily driving and not pushing the car the Continentals are doing fine for me so far.

 

North American XF are speed limited to 190 km/hr so T rated tires are enough. Stock tires are H rated all seasons. Any good summer tire will be a vast improvement. Mind you the continental all seasons are pretty good fr an all season. If the Michelin Supersports are available in 18 size buy them, you will be pleased.

 

Hello,

Your W212 is a superb choice

 

I've ordered a few things from this website, shirts, coffee travel cups, and a sweatshirt: Jaguar Collection

My local dealer also carries a few things in their shop, maybe check locally in Dallas?

 

Thank you thank you guys. This site is a wealth of information for someone who is a first time Jaguar owner.

 

Go for the Michelin PSS tyres - they are fantastic and good value for a high-end tyre too.

 

You can find nice authentic Jaguar merchandise on the big auction sites, I picked up a real nice black XF T-shirt the other day off the 'bay'. Had proper Jaguar tags etc.

 

Thanks 09XFSuper. I definitely want a tee shirt. And I'm going to call on those Michelin PSS tires and get them coming darlo.

We had a flat the other night which drew our attention to the tire wear. We used the spare. My husband told me to get a new spare tire too because we put 30 miles on it that night. Someone told us they're only good for a certain amount of miles regardless of how much tread is on them. 70 miles is supposed to be the max you can put on them. That's the first I've heard of that, but I'll order one of those too.

 

Okay, it was a little more than flat. It was destroyed! We ran over somethin.

 

Compact spare tires are limited range and max speed! They require high pressure. They will run for much more than 70 miles though, unlike run flats which have extremely limited range. Most important is not to exceed the max speed on the sidewall of the compact spare as they are not designed to dissipate the heat.

 

.

Wanted vredestein sessanta for side wall stiffness (dunlop is too spongy) but I might go pss.

 

Mich. P.S.S. are the best for these cars. Much better than the Pirellis. Everyone that I know that has a Jaguar, Merc or Porsche love these tires.
