That would really depend on how you use the car, how aggressive you drive and if you see any track time.
I'm an old man and drive like one. So Pirelli's or Michelin's are not necessary for me.

Sounds like you need 4 tires if you damaged both right side tires.

Lots of tire threads on this forum. Here's the most recent: https://www.jaguarforums.com/forum/x...ations-266303/
As Wm. Lyon noted, your intended use makes a difference.

You were right. Replaced all 4 with Hankook. Very pleased with results.

I've just put the Continental Sport Contact 7's on mine and I'm very happy with them, I've had Pzeros, Sportmaxx and Ps4s on in the past, the Sport Contact 7's are superb, nearly went with Nankang AR1's but we just don't have the heat here in Ireland to get them up to temp. Oh and rain... lots of rain.

Which Hankook model did you fit?

When in doubt, I recommend Continental's. Generally high quality tire for the money. Popular OEM tire across many marques. To be fair, I haven't had a tire I disliked beyond the Pirelli Cintaurato's that were stock on my Jag XE R Sport. Drove well enough, but were so fragile. They bubble too easily and replaced like 5 tires over my 3 year lease. Luckily had tire and rim insurance.

Because of where I live in Canada I decided to go with All Weathers V rated, had Michelins all seasons prior. I was a little concerned that they would be noisy but I must say I am delighted smooth ride and reasonably quiet and can use all year round.
