Can I piggyback on the thread, please OP?
X100 XKR with the 20" Detroits and the daft (and completely ineffective) active suspension. Currently on P Zeros and I hate them. Fidgety, not very grippy at all and hopeless on the dogs
t roads we have in Greater Manchester.
If I want the best tyres money can buy for ordinary road use, is it MPSS (or whatever the new ones are called)?

They seem to be quite a bit more expensive than Dunlop or Pirelli. Are they worth the extra?
Couldn’t say with regards to the Dunlop’s, but better than the Pirelli’s - I think so yes.(From owners, reports etc - no personal experience on the Jag, but have on other cars)
Fellow XFR owner here, Dunlops are great day to day tyres but are no good at all when driven hard, P Zeros are better by quite a margin but I will be putting PS4s on mine when the weather improves, a mate of mine has them on his Skyline and they have been pretty good , they will wear a little quicker than the others but will give better dry weather grip and will most definitely be worthwhile on track
I have a set of Michelin PS4s all round, which once warmed up, are stickier that a sticky stick.
So much more grip than the Dunlops, less wheel spin in the wet; yet they can still loose it when provoked.
I'm really happy with mine, although they were expensive.
Thankfully i was able to save about £60 when buying them from Costco, however they are no longer running that deal.

Another vote for Michelins - I'm now running pilot super sports all round, which replaced p-zeros at the front and dunlops at the rear. Apart from all the love for michelins on the internet, I received two recommendations from real-life sources whom I consider to know what they're talking about. I'd encourage you to do your own research beyond our recommendations though!
edit - blackcircles are worth visiting when pricing up a potential purchase.
