Morning

I need new rear tyres, I have the standard jag fitment PZero on 285/30 R20.

Seem to have lasted well so can't really complain, other than being alittle noisey when close to the 1.6m mark.

Any other suggestions?

cheers

There is a tyre review wiki on here.

Lots of people swear by the dunlop sportmaxx, or there are another type (Kumho?)

Sorry, can't help much I have only ever used the pirelli's. Personally, I would stick to them. If they are good enough for Jaguar they are good enough for me but then I quite like Pirelli's anyway (have them on my track day car).

GO for the Dunlop Sportmaxx. Brilliant tyre, far, far superior to the Pirelli's.

Take a look at vredestein ultrac sessanta the JEC did a survey and they came out best for the X308, and they are a good price also.

Thanks all, i'm going to stick with the PZero OEM fitment. The Dunlop versions are according to 2 dealers i'm spoken with softer and don't last quite as long. Very good in the dry though apparantly.

Ultrac Sessanta are actually a good £25-30 more than the PZeros! I have these currently on my Saab, excellent tyres imho.

Cheers

I use Toyo Proxis T1-R's



They keep me on the black stuff, much more pridictable, no tramlining and shift the water
