Jaguar 2003 XK8 4.2 - Tyre advice
Discussion
Advice needed - I am looking at getting some winter tyres for my 2003 XK8 but because of the sizes (285/30/R20 rears and 255/35/R20 fronts) the cost is excessive - £1100 for the set. Instead I was thinking of getting a set of tyres and alloys but with a smaller tyre size to try to save on overall cost. Does anyone know the smallest standard size tyres the car will take? Thanks in advance.
I think the smallest wheel & tyre combination fitted to an X100 XK8 as standard was 245/50 x 17, which should be ok unless your car is fitted with upgraded brakes - Brembo's were an option, but I'm not sure what years...
I imagine it wouldn't be difficult to find some early 17s in the classifieds, either online or in something like Jaguar World
