Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about UK tyre fitment, MOT rules and seasonal options.
Where should I check the original tyre size for my Jaguar XJ?
Look in three places: (1) the sidewall of the existing tyre, (2) the placard inside the driver's door frame, and (3) the vehicle handbook. The driver's door placard is the official OEM specification, and the sidewall confirms what's fitted now.
What's different about the 2012-2014 XJ compared with other generations?
This is the 2012-2014 generation of the Jaguar XJ. Earlier and later generations use different platforms, wheel sizes and tyre fitments, so always match your specific year to the correct generation page.
Are run-flat tyres needed on the 2012-2014 Jaguar XJ?
Most 2012-2014 Jaguar XJ cars were supplied with conventional tyres and a spare or repair kit. Only fit run-flats if your specific car was originally specified with them and has tyre pressure monitoring.
What should Jaguar XJ drivers know about UK potholes?
UK road conditions are tough on tyres. Check sidewall bulges, cuts and tread depth regularly — especially on the inside edge, which often wears unevenly. A 20p coin gives a quick legal-tread check.
What tyre size does the 2012-2014 Jaguar XJ use?
Common UK factory fitments for the 2012-2014 Jaguar XJ include 245/45 R20, 245/40 R20. The exact size depends on the wheel and trim ordered — always confirm on your tyre sidewall before fitting.
