Jaguar XF Tyre Review Highlights

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza Sport given 74% (245-40-19-)
Driving on mostly country roads for 3000 spirited miles
Bought a set of these to replace a set of Goodride SA-37. Wow, these things are very sporting biased with grip levels in the dry/warm being absolutely stunning. In the wet they remain safe as houses and don't mind standing water either. All very good??? Not quite, as their performance quite dramatically drops of cliff when you get cold weather (im thinking anything a few degrees centigrade and below). Its not to the point of being dangerous (aka loosing traction), but there is noticeable difference in 'feel', as if the car is suddenly running on a set of super hard cheap rubber. I would never expect a tyre to perform 'the same' in cold conditions but the change is quite disconcerting, especially when you are used to such a high amount of grip.....Adding half an inch of snow in to the mix resulted in a car that had zero braking at all which was quite shocking (I will now not even attempt to use the car if there is a hint of snow about..... Due to sporting nature, these are also fairly noisy and I also don't think they will last very long looking at the treadwear values...... I purchased these as I had such a good price on them (must have been a mis-price by retailer to be honest, at £70 odd quid a corner and then proceeded to knock £100 off a set of 4), but i would not buy again (at full price anyway), when Michelin Sport 5's or similar tyres available at similar cost that may not be 'quite' so grippy in the warm, but less 'lifeless' in the cold an not 'lethal' in a snow flurry......

Driving on mostly country roads for 2000 easy going miles
Car came with a full set of these, newly fitted on purchase. They are cheap as chips yet performed absolutely fine in all conditions when driven in a calm manner.
I would have been happy with these except for one fact. After 3 attempts at balancing to counteract what was a notable wobble in the steering wheel, 3 of the 4 were spotted during balancing as being not 'round'....... binned them after 2000 miles....

Writing about the Vredestein Ultrac Pro given 91% (255-35-20-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 1300 average miles
I was looking for Driving dynamics of CSportContact 7 but with longer lasting lifespan ( 240 on CSC7 compared to 320 on Ultrac Pro) and comfort over road imperfections. So, even after putting them I felt - soft & sporty feel although not too sporty - just enough. We understand that it was designed to fit the middle ground of everything, security, comfort & life span.

The only thing I wish for - the increase rim protection. On my 20's inch the rim protection is smaller on the outside than on the inside of the alloy. But at least it's at a minimum.

I pump them to 2.5 bar on R20.

Writing about the Bridgestone Blizzak LM005 given 86% (245-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 10000 average miles
Very good grip on wet and snow, but with premature wear. I recommend them

Driving on a combination of roads for 15000 average miles
Good tyres with a long life as long as not pushed to the limits they have ample grip for all surfaces. I'm on my second set in five years after getting around 30,000 miles out of the first set

Writing about the Dunlop SP Sport 01 given 44% (245-45-18-)
Driving on for 10 miles
Xf 3.0 V6 diesel 240bhp. Bought 2nd hand with a mixture of high end brands 4 different manufacturers. Swapped over for Jaguar recommended Dunlop SP Sport 01. I drive sensibly, don't thrash the car, fronts v. little wear over 10k, but the car tramlines horrendously on a badly worn road , very loud road noise all round. Rear tyres down to 3mm. after the same mileage. My previous car, an E class got 60k out of a set of Goodyears without any of the racket from the Dunlops on the Jag. Would I buy again, or recommend, definitely a big no.

Writing about the Bridgestone Potenza Sport given 91% (245-45-18-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 6000 spirited miles
A Real Performance Tire Potenza Sport. These tires are really fantastic for Performance Purposes. Car Power 300 Hp 625 nw/m Car weight 4300 Lbs Tires 245/45R18 100Y. Recommended pressure from car manufacturer, Lower 32 Psi Higher 38 PSI. Potenza Sport after 10.000 km (400 km in three track days). Last three Tires before Pzero, asymmetric 5 and asymmetric 3.
Front my point of view:
-Extremely good: Drive on wet. Dry and wet braking distance. Performance drive both wet and dry . Cornering both wet and dry. Wet driving Racing 99,5% in wet handling (exception aquaplaning)
-Very good: Dry handling better than other tires I've had, Dry racing drive.
-Good: Only one exception on wet , Aquaplaning with lots of water similar or lighter better than other tires I've had
-Right: Confort, Noise, fuel consumption, tire wear on road and tire wear on track if it is raining.
- Fuel consumption when tire pressure is the maximum recommended by Jaguar (38 Psi +0.2/0.3 l/100km) Not good enough: Fuel consumption if tire pressure is at the minimum recommended by car manufacturer. (32 PSI +0.7/0.8 l/100km).
Tire wear on Track if it’s Dry - In my opinion nothing is bad o very bad.
I drove three times on circuit, dry and wet for 400 km. It is not a Track tire, but it behaves well, very well for a road tire, especially in the wet ( I recommend it on a raining track day). On the circuit it wears out relatively quickly and holds up better if it's not hot.
In conclusion, a fantastic road tire choice for performance or wet purposes, not so good if you are looking for a very comfortable tire with real long life and low consumption.

Writing about the Avon ZV7 given 47% (225-55-17-)
Driving on a combination of roads for 4000 easy going miles
DO NOT BUY - TYRE CRACKS I have had these tyres 9months on front and 15months rear (install split due to Covid lockdowns). Both tyres have over 7mm of tread depth remaining, but all 4 have radial cracking inside the inner and outer tread grooves. I have covered 4k & 6k miles respectively with these tyres. I appreciate these are not premium Michelin / Bridgestone etc, but Avon isn't exactly a budget tyre. I have the correct specification tyre for my vehicle and always maintain correct pressures. Really disappointed and don't seem to be the first person to experience this issue with Avon ZV7.

Writing about the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 given 93% (245-40-19-W)
Driving on a combination of roads for 38 spirited miles
Used the F1A3 for the past 3 years and covered almost 60000 km on a1.9tons car. The ride is superb, the car feels a lot plusher and precise than with the P7 cinturatos I had before. Never had an issue with grip. Now, that the new model is up I will try the F1A5, hope I will get at least the same results as with the predecesor.
