Pilot91: Welcome to the best auto forum on the internet.
You didn't say whether you were looking for 16" tires--or 18" for the R model. If you've got 16" tires, you have a bunch of good choices.
The 18" S models apparantly use different size tires, and the 35 series rear tires limit the available model tires. The Yokohama Avad's look like a good choice vs price on 18" tires.
I always look at the product tests/reports/customer evaluations on TireRack.com when buying tires. Then I look at their prices and TreadDepot.com--both supporters of this forum--for the best price relative to the quality.
After 50+ new cars, I've had virtually every brand of tire. My local garage told me last week that they're experiencing big price increases on their tires. They speak highly of Toyo and Michelin's (big $)--and less highly of Kumho (now mid priced.)
The last Continentals I had rang like a bell, however you're looking at higher quality Continentals than my OEM replacements.
A little research on the internet quickly brings the best tires for your use to the top.

but you really need to look at the model specific section and maybe the Wheels and Tyres section.

Hello and welcome to jaguarforums.com. I know that you are anxious to get started and we are anxious to meet you and talk about your car. We have a baseline / criteria that must be met before full access can be granted. Please enjoy the forum and be patient once the baseline has been satisfied full access will be granted. Please continue to post and accept my welcome to the forum.
Oh one other thing you need to put your car details in your signature. I am speaking of the Year, Make & Model. Without it you may not get the input you are looking for.
Please take a moment and read the information provided to you explaining the rules. Be patient and enjoy the site.
