We've just received an email from Jaguar advising us of a recall on tyres. Does anybody know more?

Our car is a 2014 Sportbrake R-Sport with 18" wheels

There is an issue with the original fit tyres, performance related I believe and something to do with mpg being excessive, they are being replaced with a new set of Goodyear tyres FOC.

Just phoned the dealer I purchased from - it sounds like this is a job they would do as part of the next service, rather than as a full recall, and of course only if you're still running the original set of tyres. The reason is apparently down to noise & economy, so I'm guessing they've had customer feedback regarding both & have managed to pin it down to a tyre batch.

So I'm now booked in for a full new set of Goodyear Eagles, result! bounce

Had mine changed at Harwoods Basingstoke last week

Mine were at 31000 miles so needed changing fairly soon

I would suggest if yours need changing then contact your dealer... The new goodyears tyres can be hard to get hold off

More details over at www.jaginfo.org

I believe that it is for jaguar 2.2 with 18 inch wheels with original Pirelli

Plus a particular dot code

Mines is an Rsport sports brake
