235 60R 15 - Anyone running this tire size?
This tire will fit the the original rim width, adds an inch of width over the stock 215 70R 15s, and is slightly smaller in diameter. Very small gearing reduction approx. 3mph off at 90mph iirc.
I'm curious if anyone is running this size tire? Got pictures?

I actually think I like the bulging sidewall profile. Bit muscle-car. And tends to soften out road flaws. I do like throwing her around curves though. Knowing they were an OEM size helps me feel better about the choice.
Precious few choices really, I did find the 215 50R15 pirellis, but I'm not a fan and I'd like to keep some of my money.

Starfish and most "Sports Lattice" are 6.5 inch
I think a 7.0 inch Lattice wheel was used in 1993 or so. Not quite sure.

Mine are BF Goodrich Radial T/A mounted with the white lettering turned in. Gotta say I wouldn't go to a smaller tire after having 235s--I love the grip. And the car still rides like a Jag, like a sporty, lighter version of the XJ6, which I suppose it is. Sorry for the fuzzy photo.
As an aside I have to say several facelift photos here have made me think twice about my preferences. I don't care for the facelift tail, but those redesigned rear windows are sweet! Hmmm. I know a body guy...

I have a set of 4 Michelin Pilot Exalto A/S 95h 225/55R 16" that are almost unused. Shown on this car. I loved them but lost a lot of points at 2 shows so changed them out for the 15" size with chrome starfish. The spare is the P600 Pirelli. All five have the chrome rings mounted but they could be removed... The five tires cost me $890.00, the rims with the Jag caps were $500.00. I'm just "up the road" from you. Let me know if you are interested and make me an offer.
