Since changing to the KU31's the difference compared to the Pirelli P-Zero's is amazing, dry and wet grip improved and all round handling better, wear seem's to be better and at 30-40 pounds a tire less i seem to have found a bargain without compromising on performance.

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 XType 2.2d Soverign drivers say
The most recent owner reviews from this car, in their own words.
I've used these tires on last car (jag) and a previous A4 2.5tdi Quattro. If you want grippy, safe tires at rock bottom price then I don't think you can beat zz3's. I don't consider the wear to be any greater than many other higher priced tires, on my quattro they lasted 18000 miles on all four corners. I've now got a BMW335d which currently has really crap budget tires on it that break away anything over 50mph in the wet, so I'm going to put four ZZ3's on the beemer this week. With 290 bhp and 420 lbs/ft torque that should be a good enough test for the ZZ3's. I'll update the review once they have some miles on them.
A good all round tire, especially suited to the X-Type Jaguar. Have averaged 25,000 miles on the front tires, very good considering this is a two wheel drive varient and an amazing 79,000 on the rear
