Jaguar 5.0 XK Portfolio Tire Review Highlights

Writing about the Nankang NS2 given 50% (275-30-19-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 0 spirited miles
Not good when roads are a bit damp, not so bad when the roads are very wet, can’t even pull away with hardly any throttle without wheelspin so do not inspire confidence, they remind me of Pirelli’s that were fitted to my previous Jaguar Xj8, was like skating on ice if the roads were damp, especially if salted. They were on the car when I bought it and decided I will buy new 19” wheels and try different make of tires, I wouldn’t buy the Nankangs

Writing about the Dunlop SP Sport Maxx given 53% (285-30-20-W)
Driving on mostly country roads for 16000 average miles
Original equipment on my 2011 5.0 XK (not an R). Rears wore out in 8,000 miles - and not track work/boy racer driving. Very poor traction, especially in the wet. Fronts near replacement point and have 16000 miles on them; they lack steering feel but grip well under braking and in cornering. Will try P Zero's next time - I see that Jag. fit at OE now. Michelins seem better except for road noise issue reported on this site.
