The recommended pressure should be listed on a sticker under the arm rest lid. These would be the official Jaguar recommendations for stock wheel sizes applicable to your car. Unless you know different, go with that.

Best of luck.

Rears will go bald in the middle fast at recommended pressure. I run 29 front and 27 rear, great tread life.

For what it's worth, I have 30lbs Front & 28lbs Rear as it is a Coupe....Engine is in the Front and Golf Clubs in the Rear.....Engine weighs more than the Clubs! I tried the suggested pressure under the Arm Rest lid but after a week, all my teeth were shaken lose.........

Yep . . . I also run 255/35ZR20 front and 285/30ZR20 rear on the widest BBS split rims using pressures of 32 front and 30 rear . . . but then, virtually all of my driving is higher speed country highway based, for which an increase of 4-6 is advised.

Tomorrow is no exception . . . 600+Km trip to capital city for the big, annual All British Car Show Day over the weekend. Expected roll-up of 20+ JF members and our array of Cats on display.

Cheers and keep smiling,

Ken
