Winter tyres on an S-Type - any comments or recommendations?

[alant01]

I'm contemplating putting winter tyres on my S-Type. Does anyone have any experience of using such tyres? Any recommendations as to tyre makes, versions, etc.? Any comments or suggestions will be welcome and may be useful to other Jag owners, too.

Me too also. Not much choice in the 245/45x17 range, though.
I had Kleber Quadraxers on the 330d last year and they were truly excellent.

My S-Type currently has 235/50R17 fitment but the handbook nominates 225/50R17 for winter fitment - presumably the narrower tyre gives slightly better grip.
