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.

Windforce Catchfors UHP PRO 245-45-18 Jaguar xf premium luxury 4,000 miles December 7, 2025
Bought an XF with new tires on it hadn't heard of them but as I had bought the car in Spring, my thought was keep them on and if poor in wet ( not many tires nowadays are dangerous in dry) can change them in winter. All I can say is that I find them no worse than Kumho, Hankook, Landsail and any number of medium/budget brands till now. I have only had car for 7 months and probably about 4k mls but I won't be changing them. I have given 6's for most qualities mainly because the tire's are not Michelin/Goodyear quality but subjectively some of those could be 7's. Would I buy them again? not sure that will depend on how long they last, price and how they perform as they wear. Last word is I drive the car and don't even think about the tire's except when checking pressure

Continental WinterContact TS 870 P 235-55-17- Jaguar xf premium luxury 5,000 miles January 26, 2023
This is a mid life type of review (2nd winter) and 5000 miles mark. The tires are amazing. On slushy roads (mountains roads with snow, melted snow, ice, water, road dirt, etc), the tires are like glue to the road. With semi-spirited drive (without risking the safety on the mountains roads driving), the ESP was not needed. It grips and grips with no problems. Of course, on fully iced roads, the grip is not amazing, but again these are not studded tires. On snow, however ....a pleasure to drive. On wet and dry roads, the situation is the same: grips and grips without any downside. Braking is also very good, in some emergency braking occasions, the car stopped very quickly from 120km/h speedo` area to 0 km/h. Will definitively buy again next time, as I`m confident I have fund my perfect winter tire.

Dunlop SP Sport 01 245-40-19- Jaguar xf premium luxury 3,000 miles December 26, 2021
A fine tire with great feedback and a quiet experience. Fantastic grip in wet and dry conditions. Many miles of spirited cross country and motorway driving confirmed why this tire was usually the original choice on the car when it was new. The tires bring out the best performance of the car and give complete comfort and confidence in all the usual daily driving conditions. I will not hesitate in replacing these with the same ones again.

Continental WinterContact TS 870 P 235-55-17- Jaguar xf premium luxury November 20, 2021
Aquired TS 870 P for the winter, based on all feedback from it's predecessor and the novelty improvements said to have. Until now, although the driving period is not long and the tires were not pushed to their limits, still the feeling is superb. Dry and wet grip, stability and confort are on a different level. Tires behaved amazingly on the various road conditions and styles of driving. Cannot say the snow/ice performance as we did not had snow yet, but expectations are high.

Joyroad Sport RX6 245-40-19- Jaguar xf premium luxury July 8, 2021
My opinion is exactly the same as that of the Nissan R32 driver. I also got these new when I purchased a used Jaguar XF, and they're absolutely shocking. In the dry you wouldn't notice much when pottering around town, but it's clear that they are going to let go with little prompting because it's impossible to pull away briskly - such as when you need to pull into a gap on a busy roundabout - without spinning the wheels. The car has been checked for tracking, suspension, and the tires for balancing and air pressure so everything is set up as it should be. As soon as it rains it's a completely different story. I pulled away from a standing start at said busy roundabout and the back end slid around. At this point I'm probably doing less than 20mph. As the other guy mentioned, when they let go there's no warning whatsoever, and in manual you'll struggle to pull away even in 2nd gear without spinning the wheels. My car is rear wheel drive and is a 3 liter V6 diesel, so does have plenty of torque and exactly as he said, you get no traction, wheelspin, no lateral grip and worst of all, no warning. I have to stress that this isn't on a spirited drive, this is just driving as you normally would. And this was in light rain with no standing water. These really are downright dangerous, people are going to get killed, and even as a driver with 340 years' experience and professional qualifications I refused to take the car out again for the next couple of days until my replacement Pirellis arrived. It's simple - don't risk your life or somebody else's to save a bit of money, because that's exactly what you will be doing and it's just not worth it.

Dunlop SP Sport 01 245-40-19- Jaguar xf premium luxury 500 miles April 2, 2021
This tire is specifically designed for the Jaguar and it definitely feels right on my car. I recently had all four tires replaced with these and the car handles exactly as it should. The car has a fantastic sure footed and smooth ride with the expected feeling of being on rails on fast A roads. A great looking tire too!

Dunlop SP Sport FM800 245-40-19- Jaguar xf premium luxury 12,000 miles March 16, 2021
I have fitted circa 60 no Dunlop 245/49/19 to high Milage dealer serviced Jag Xf 2.7 d . Used for motorway miles predominantly - The last 4 delaminated ( purchased in pairs ) well before the legal minimum wear limit ( 3 to 4 ml remaining in parts ) with fabric out on the inside of the tires due to significant uneven wear . The vehicle is regularly tracked and tires rotated . I personally found the recent batch potentially highly dangerous and feel lucky ( multiple times ) not to have encountered a blow out at motorway speed and have changed to Goodyear’s which I find wear perfectly evenly across the full tire width to the legal limit without any de lamination or fabric showing through .
