Tyre sizes for the Jaguar XJ
The most accurate way to find tyres for a Jaguar XJ is to read the size from your current tyre sidewall, then match width, profile, rim, load index and speed rating.
Tyre sizes for the Jaguar XJ vary by year, trim, engine and wheel size — the right size for your specific car depends on which wheels were fitted at order.
On a premium model like the Jaguar XJ, top-tier tyre brands (Michelin, Continental, Bridgestone, Pirelli, Goodyear) typically pay back their extra cost in tread life, noise and wet grip.

Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
What's the difference between summer and winter tyres for a Jaguar XJ?
Winter tyres use a different rubber compound that stays flexible below 7°C, plus deeper sipes for snow and slush grip. For UK Jaguar XJ drivers in colder regions, dedicated winters or 3PMSF all-seasons can be worthwhile.
How do I find the right tyres for a Jaguar XJ?
Start with the size printed on your existing tyre sidewall — for example 205/55 R16 91V — and use it as your baseline for the Jaguar XJ. Match width, profile, rim size, load index and speed rating before considering brand or pattern.
What's the legal tread depth for a Jaguar XJ in the UK?
The UK legal minimum tread depth is 1.6mm across the central three-quarters of the tyre. Many tyre safety bodies recommend replacing at 3mm for better wet weather safety on the Jaguar XJ.
Can I mix tyre brands on a Jaguar XJ?
It's safer to fit matching tyres in pairs (axle-by-axle) on a Jaguar XJ. Mixing brands or different tread patterns across an axle can affect handling balance — particularly in wet conditions.
What pressure should the Jaguar XJ run?
The correct pressure for your Jaguar XJ is on the placard inside the driver's door frame and in the handbook — not on the tyre itself. Pressure varies by load and trim. Check cold once a month.
