Your Jag looks fantastic - the newer style rims really update the look and the color matches the car perfectly.
It's amazing to me how much cleaner and different the car appears without the side moulding. Question - The Lionhart Brand is a less expensive Chinese made tire yes? Do you have extensive experience with this brand and how they perform short and longer term? I have a 2005 Super V8 and have been on almost a year now without posting pics. I have several sets of OEM wheels and your car looks so good I really need to share mine. It's irritating when people don't have pics I find. Anyway - nice job. |
Yes I own Acme Wheels & Tires and we use Lionharts for over a year, they are amazing.
|
Nice rims but Lionhart tires?
|
Yes, amazing rubber. Why? you have experience with them? We sell more of these then anything else.

My stock wheels are now available too located in South jersey. |
I'm inbetween Lionhart tires and achilles atr sport 2's.
Which ones should I get? I just daily drive. Car looks great! |
Lionharts for sure. They are awesome. Smooth quiet, handle great etc.
|
Just a quick update. Over a year and almost 12k miles on the Lionharts and they are AMAZING! Best tire for the $ out there.

Hi OnebadassXJR,
Awesome looking car, great wheels, the color of them match the car so well. I assume that Lionhart tires are Chinese, and it sounds like they are good performers. I recently had my badly kerbed Callisto 20 inch wheels repaired and have fitted Triangle tires, again Chinese. I will be interested to see how the tires perform in the long term. Are Triangle tires available in the USA? https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...102ecbf8af.jpg Assymetric tread https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...db8a922ed1.jpg Triangle brand https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...f7c561ac36.jpg Correct size and load rating https://cimg8.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.jag...c2a50c8b5a.jpg Fitted to the car |
Question to the PO: why did you choose to have a staggered rim set with same tires' width front and rear?
Also 8.5" for a 275 looks to me to be on the low side... |

Also 8.5" for a 275 looks to me to be on the low side... I got a good deal on the 4 in same size and I love the staggered look, the back is more concave. They also didnt have a larger size for the rears in the LH5 that had the same sidewall. |
It's not uncommon to have staggered rim sets with same tires' sizes (wider rims on the rear).
It may have a slight impact on the handling, wider rims procuring a sharper response of the tires, thinner rims a more sluggish one. But in your case the quite wider tires (275 compared to the 255 original fitting) also will modify the handling. Overall did you notice a difference in handling? |
