I have Pirellis zero nero on my xj and I am about to replace my second front tire. Vehicle is 6 months old. first tire blew, this one now has bubble on side wall.
I have owned many vehicles, several with low profile tires and never had this problem.
Anyone else running into this?

 

I had the Dunlop's on my XJ Supercharged. I had about 6,000 miles on the car and was surprised greatly when the dealer informed me the car was out of alignment and had worn the Dunlop's to the cords on the inside edge of the fronts. Tires replaced, mystery remains about alignment of the car with a possibility the car was out of alignment from the factory.

 

I got the same problem! I have Dunlops though. Got a bubble in my front tire after only 3k miles. And...the tires are noisy, especially during braking, even very light braking. I never liked those Dunlops, everytime I had Dunlop on ANY of my cars I had a problem. But now say you don't like the Pirelli either.
I may look at Michelin once I got a few more miles of my OEM tires.

 

I am wonder if Jaguar learned something in that department. I had a brand new 98 XJ Vanden Plas years ago, and they had the same problem with Dunlops. Replaced TWICE under warranty after about not even 7k miles each time.
After that I got XJR wheel and tire package and never had a problem.

 

I have dunlops and havent had any problem with them. But I also have low miles so only time will tell.
