2012 Jaguar Xk Tires

The XK series of 2+2 grand tourers from Jaguar debuted in the mid-90s and was around until 2014. Over its two generations, the XK had a series of progressively more-powerful engines, and was available in Base, Supercharged, L Supercharged, Supersport, L Supersport and Portfolio trim levels. Pirelli P Zero tires would have been OEM for this make/model.

When it’s time to shop 2012 Jaguar XK tires, remember that this model is designed with a staggered fitment, with different tire sizes in front and rear. Rear sizes could be 275/35ZR19 or 285/35ZR20, and fronts could be 245/40ZR19 or 255/35ZR20. Some of our recommendations for premium all-season tires would include the Continental ExtremeContact DWS06 Plus (with 60k mile treadwear warranty), Falken Ziex ZE960 A/S and Arroyo Grand Sport A/S. For more precise handling, there’s summer/ultra-high-performance tires like the Goodyear Eagle Exhilarate (with 45k mile treadwear warranty) or Falken Azenis FK460 A/S. Just remember that summer/UHp tires get part of their performance from a softer, stickier tread formulation, but these tires will stiffen and lose traction on colder days. summer/UHP tires shouldn’t be used when temperatures are below 40-45 degrees F.
