Fitment comes from each tire's manufactured size list, and the sizes are the ones drivers reported when they reviewed. Check the size, load index and speed rating on your own doorplate before buying - a size a previous owner ran is not always the size your car left the factory on.

What Jaguar XKR 5.0 drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
Wear on edge Greater than the rest of the tire. Wheels are fully balanced so no offset. Generall driving not heavy footed.
I bought and fitted these tires to a 2013 Jaguar XKR Coupe in November 2019.
Now 10,000 miles and 15 months later all tires are showing hair line cracks running along the valleys between the treads. I admit car because of COVID not used so much in last 12 months. But at £800 cost I feel these tires should be able to cope with diverse use and mileages. As I write I am not aware whether this is an MOT failure or not.
Performance of tire In wet and dry conditions generally good and with out issues. I only discovered these cracking problems yesterday and have not yet taken it up with Dunlop but will be.
There was nothing I could do to prevent this and through the ownership period I have maintained the
the recommended pressures. VERY POOR DUNLOP!!! Roger
Must admit I am very impressed. There is not a single aspect in which I can fault these tires. Excellent dry grip and progressive at the limit, settled in the wet with good aquaplaning resistance which is important on 285 section tires. Quiet on poor roads and consideration how much I like to turn the traction control off they are only showing minimal wear.
It is difficult to comprehend how much better the Michelin PS4s could be to warrant the astronomical price difference.
