I have some OEM TPMS sensors (part#T2H53944) that are compatible with my incoming 2025 F-Pace. Given that this is the correct part# (confirmed with dealership), can I be rest assured that these will "just work" when the wheels are mounted to the car (when it arrives)? If they won't "just work", can I get them installed into winter tires now, and have them programmed once the car arrives at the end of April?
Thanks for the replies! So, as long as I got the part# correct (dealer put my VIN into their system to obtain part#), I just put them in the wheel and forget about it. The car will figure out which one is RF, LF, RR, LR. That is great news. When I did this for our 2020 F-Pace SVR, the fellow needed a VIN and they came marked RF, LF, RR, LR. Those ones must have been aftermarket by the sounds of things. Not sure why they were marked if the car can just figure it out.
As for winter tires, I went with factory replica SVR wheels: https://www.ebay.ca/itm/196155249295. The only winter tires I could find that fit on these are the Pirelli Scorpion ones. This is the same winter setup we have on our 2020 F-Pace SVR and it is fine so long as the tires are not worn.
Do you drive your F-Type in the winter? I have a 2020 F-Type R that has sat in the garage each winter, but curious if you winter yours and if so, what is the wheel/tire setup you went with.
I think that is correct. Tire stores sell aftermarket, typically Autel or similar and they need to be told they are going on a Jag. JLR TPMS (which are really just rebadged Ford) seem to know.
I'm in St Louis. We get mostly cold, some ice and hardly any snow anymore. I run Pilot Sport 4S's in the summer which can't be driven on under 40 degrees F so we swap to a set of RE980's for the winter. We got alloy colored Gyrodines with the car and sourced a set of Tech Grey/Diamond Turned Gyrodines via eBay UK. Some of them came with TPMS already installed and The Jag didn't care.
That's funny - I went with the same SVR replica wheels from the same eBay seller. Who was terrific. I however didn't do staggered fitment - I went for a square setup and adjusted the offset slightly so they look the same on the car but all four are interchangeable. So wheels at rear are slightly narrower than OEM to help with winter grip. And means there are more tires available so I put the Nokian Hakka R5
Not sure if you've installed yet. For some reason the conical wheel nut seat on the new wheels didn't quite match the OEM ones - when I dry fitted they wiggled a bit. So the vendor kindly sent me a set of replacement lug nuts for the winter wheels. So check if they snug properly before installing
As a pure snow tire you can't beat Hakka's but I'd rather have the Pirelli's if the roads are mostly dry on your daily commute. Good compromise would be Blizzak's, not as squiggy in the dry as the Hakka's but better snow control than the Pirelli's. The best set I ever ran in Ann Arbor was the Michelin Ice and Snow's which are now branded as X-Ice.

I purchased a set from him in 2020 and have been using the black growler lugs that came with the car. You're saying that you could actually wiggle the wheel a little bit with the lugs tightened to spec?
I didnt bolt it on. When I just held the OEM jag lug nuts their cone seems to be different dimensions and it didn't mate up with the lug holes properly. Both are conical but they are different dimensions
But minor issue and the ones they sent work perfectly. Plus I can have black for winter and silver for summer!
I changed the wife's winters to summers today and made a point to check the lug holes in the factory and replica wheels. They look the same to me. I also checked my brand new replica ones (for the incoming P575), and they look the same, too. Factory Jaguar lug nuts mate up the same with all three variants.
