How many owners actually replaced their Dunlops with Dunlops? I thought it was kind of lame on Jaguar to mount such expensive replacements. Dunlop must've sold them to Jaguar for a song...

I got a flat in one that couldn't be repaired so I had to replace both rear Dunlops. They had around 10-11K miles on them and still could have gone maybe 5-7K more. They rode hard and were at times felt a little slick. I replaced them with Conti DWS which are much more smoother. The fronts are still Dunlops and started to get wear on the inside edge so I had the car aligned. As spring starts to break I will pull these tires and replace them with the matching Conti's similar to what is on the rear. For my style of driving they are smooth , quiet and handle to my needs.
