Default New F-Type Owners

Hello everyone! New to me F-Type V6 Base with some nice options. Got it under warranty. 33,000 miles! Clean lease return, I heard the previous owner actually frequented the forums!

Welcome to the forum.

Make sure you are aware that tuning voids any drive-train warranty and that CPO inspection may not not detect the presence of tune if they didn't specifically look for it. Mentioning this, because I think I recognize the car.

As far as I can tell, it is NOT tuned. It doesn't feel tuned, anyway. Seems to have the classic V6 base "drop off" after 5,500 RPM.

Not CPO, I got an extensive extended powertrain warranty.

Any clues to the previous owner?

With sufficient practice I'm sure you can become completely evil! LOL
Congratulations on your new Jaguar!

Powerhouse-
I looked at a few different reviews on these, and some other tires, and compiled the reviews in the following thread:
https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/f...atings-210223/
I can't say I have any issues with the Pirellis, but I am putting on new tires when I receive my new wheels, so I wanted the best.
