Richf Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 Not really done a huge amount to the car but had a Spires rear exhaust put on last week, so it sounds like this now, thinking hard about new wheels and changing the Dunlop Sports Maxx tyres to Pirelli pzeros Went to the drag strip for the season opening RWYB, very slick and had a lot of trouble getting the big Jag off the line but managed consistent 13.1-2's at around 113mph , will easily run 12's once the weather warms up a bit, but it was the same for everyone and even the 4wd stuff couldnt do any better 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 Splashed out for a set of Jaguar XFR-S wheels , they are forged and made in very low numbers so very rare , 1" wider all round so allowed for bigger tyres 295/30/20 on the rear and 265/35/20 on the front , unfortunately i couldn't stretch to MPSS so stuck with P-Zeros for the next 5000 miles These have been refurbed in Shadow Chrome so the brake dust wont show up as much 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMballistic Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Looks great Rich. Love the lines of the Jag XF for a four door. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 What made you go for the P Zeros over the Contis? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted April 7, 2017 Author Share Posted April 7, 2017 What made you go for the P Zeros over the Contis? Tread depth , dunno how much you get but it looked like about 4mm depth on a new tyre , you can see on this pic http://www.continental-tyres.co.uk/car/tyres/car/summer-car-tyres/contiforcecontact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strudul Posted April 7, 2017 Share Posted April 7, 2017 Wow, I thought 7/8mm was kinda standard, but apparently they are 6/32" (or 4.8mm). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AMT Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 I was about to say nice..and the wheels look really good, suit the car, much better than the trend of people darkening or blacking them out... but nevermind... :lol: Cracking car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z21 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Excellent choice, from what I've been told these things are absolute weapons! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
