Default Xk wheels and tyres

Hi guys it’s me again, having terrible trouble getting four of the same make tyres to fit my xk, looking preferably for Michelin’s but I can’t seem to match up front and rear, I can get Supersport for rear 275/40x18 but can’t get for front 245/45x18, I can get pilot sport 4 for front but not for the rear. Driving me mad and the same goes for most makes, in 19” no problem
just seen a set of 19” propeller wheels from an f/type for sale and I was wondering if they would be a straight change over for my xk 2008 convertible 4.2
wiuld appreciate if anyone could shed some light on it. Also would anyone have a number for Jaguar uk that I could call to find out
regards to all , Mike

Call your local dealers and see what they have available. Might be hateful, might be competitive. Either way they should be able to get OEM spec tires for your car.

Hi guys I’ve finally sorted problem, I’ve managed to get a lovely set of 19”alloys from an f/type 65 plate, had a great set of Pirelli P Zeros on (suit me for a couple of years I reckon )
so I now have a set of 18” inch VENUS alloys for sale in near mint condition if anyone’s interested , I had them refurbished just six months ago , fully stripped down & powder coated with a nice gloss lacquer
thanks for all your tips and advice

You'll probably get yelled at for making a post that should be relegated to the 'classified' section, although that section is too clumsy to use effectively.
Also, as to your inline images;

Good deal. I really like the P zero's on mine. They handle the road and snow pretty well.

The UK forum is https://www.jaguarforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=53

However, there's a lot of common membership (I'm pretty common, myself)
