Tyres for Jaguar vehicles plus torque settings table for related models

The purpose of this table is to denote proper wheelnut torque tightening settings, and air pressure, for most common tyres on the related vehicles.

Finding replacement tyres for Jaguar vehicles is not difficult, but that is only part of the equation.  Getting the right tyres for Jaguar cars, vans, trucks, or SUVs may involve some choices if the driver's preferences, and driving habits, require different tyres for the Jaguar than were originally fitted by Jaguar.

Changing the tyres on a Jaguar should require 3 primary choices:

  • The overall quality of the tyre (durability, wear, ratings, cost) desired for the Jaguar
  • The speed rating that a tyre for that Jaguar should have depending upon the driver's average and occasional "fastest-driven" speed
  • Deciding if local and/or regional weather patterns merit keeping two sets of tyres for dry vs. wet road conditions

Further, if an owner wishes to put tyres on different sized wheels for the Jaguar, a careful decision about what size tyres will be valid for that Jaguar is required. If, for example, a larger wheel size is desired, then the profile (height) and/or the width must be reduced to avoid damaging the drive train. A 195/65/15 tyre for that Jaguar, for instance, on a 17" rim, could legitimately become a 165/65 (narrower) or a 195/55 (shorter) but could not stay a 195/65 as before. A handy calculator for changing tyre sizes can be found here.

All tyres for any Jaguar vehicle should be fitted using the proper torque, according to the manufacturer's specifications. Torque is the amount of pressure used to tighten the wheel nuts.  For tyres that are fitted to the following Jaguar models, the torque settings are listed. Also, the recommended air pressure to put into tyres for Jaguar models is listed. Further, the alternate tyre size for Jaguar models.

Note: Further information on tyres and car batteries for Jaguar vehicles may be found at the manufacturer's own website... Jaguar
