I Put The Wrong Tyres On My Car! | Fitting Oversize Tyres To The F-Type

[@HunterDFtwo]

When you put the wrong tyres on did you put that illegal number plate on wrong as well ?

[@johncopeland6383]

Awesome video re your explanation and experience in upgrading your tires! Will certainly help us F-Type owners make that very important decision. John

[@LagunaLeonhart]

It's important to note that the second number (30) is a percentage of the first number (width).

[@ChrisFEJackson]

I had planned to also change my rears to Michelins too, used PS 3's in the past and the wet grip is phenominal, I didn't realise you could use the 305 from the 295, THANK !YOU and to prove it also, what a guy!!

[@HEAVY_IS_THE_METAL]

315's fit perfectly & i'm lowered

[@Largeone1968]

On my BMW Z4 M40i i went from 255/35/19 front with 275/35/19 rear to 275/35/19 F and 295/35/19 rear. The new tyres are 7mm taller in the side wall than old which results in a smother ride. The speedo is slightly off but this can be calibrated on the move using the cars inbuilt gps. I went from Michelin Pilot Super Sport to Michelin Pilot Sport 4S. This is on new wheels which are 1/2” wider than the old 9/10” I also fitted Eibach springs and had a fast road alignment. The car looks great, handles better, has more traction and is more comfortable than before. Win win win.

[@mortenfalandysz4801]

Have the V8r RW drive and you are absolutely right PS4 back and zeros in front is the perfect match for this car👏👏

[@sk3Lph]

Great video, I'm also running Pirelli P Zeros on my F-Type from when I bought it and have noticed the grip is not great. Would be useful to have a recommended size to choose written down for the front as well as the back.

[@v12-s65]

255/35 R20 & 295/30 R20 ofc

[@xedosclau]

Pirelli are bad winter and summer tires . They are official jaguar tires.

[@v12-s65]

[@TheMarkyMarx]

Great video. I also have P-Zeros on my 2016 R. I'll change to Pilot Sports next time around. Do you have wheel spacers on as well?

[@daveevans6783]

Awesome, great info on the tires. Very much interested in the 4S Michelin tires. So 305 on the rears what size for the fronts?

[@Bodged_Garage]

Most people go with 265/35 20. They are the same size tires found on the SVR.

[@v12-s65]

Now before everybody starts bashing against Pirelli some things need to be cleared out. The tire mounted on his F-Type is the over 10 year old previous P Zero generation (release in 2007 if I'm correct). Obviously keeping that in mind the tire needed a major overhaul for a new gen and that would be the P Zero PZ4 which is a much newer tire and also comes in many different variations. (tyre reviews best UHP for the dry only was the P Zero PZ4) People tend to think about the P Zero as just one tire, but there are 30 different variants including specifications making each one unique. Newer F-Type models usually come with the newer PZ4, a far superior tire. Now the Michelin PS4s is a great tire, one of the best since over 5 years and still going on. Out of the performance tires it has an overall superb performance compared with a long thread life. However, not sure if I missed it, but the PS4s comes in 295/30 R20 dimension? Not sure why you would have gone for 305, the 10mm difference is almost non noticeable. Sizing up might come with some problems, for example: My car has 245/35 R20 & 275/30 R20 tires. If I wanted to upsize to 21s I would need to go for 295/25 and 255/30 because no tires available in other sizes. Keep in mind your speedo shows less because the wheel diameter would now become larger. But mostly as shown 10mm won't make a difference Also if you mess around with the front/rear axle ratio it could start to fool your abs, because the two axles spin at a very different time, tricking the system when braking. Now for 305 rear I would recommend upsizing to 265 front to keep that ratio almost the same. However now this small change shouldn't be a big deal

I have new p zero fitted, they are still crap.

[@TheProjectManager100]

Just bought a brand new 2023 P450 RWD this past weekend. I did see at the dealership they had the 2023/2024 R which had the 305/30/20. MIne have the 295/30/20. I believe they all come standard with the Pirelli P Zeros. I have not driven the car that much yet to be able to know a difference but I have read other reviewers say that the Michelin are better. I am in California so not much rain out here.

[@georgesmith8988]

Hi, I have a V6 S AWD With 20 inch wheels and 295 Pirelli’s. Has anyone tried or know if a 315 Michelin tire would be okay?

[@martinliddell5390]

Having changed the rear tyres to a different size will change the rolling radius which in turn could damage the 4 wheel drive system and cost thousands of pounds in repairs!.😢

[@MrDjc66]

Where did you purchase the Tyres, looking for some for my F-Type but struggling to get them in that size.

[@MrGB_UK]

I’ve stopped a reply to your email, with a lot of info. Quick detail for here, Asda 🤯 Good luck with the hunt and thanks for the comment

[@underrated_assets]

Love the channel and videos! Sorry if I missed this, but do you have adapters/spacers on your F-Type? The fitment looks like you might? I have a 2015 wit the same wheels and and debating adding 17mm all around (smallest width that does not require hub thread modification)...

[@michaelschultz1104]

I did 20mm on my 2016 R on all 4 and it’s so much better looking & improved cornering.

[@randalhuseby]

Lol. My F type R is also currently sitting with Pilot sport 4S on back and P zero’s on Front. And it also bugs me to no end. Too much life left on fronts. Although I put the 295 size back on. I like the look of your 305’ much better. Still a foot of snow here though. Cheers!

[@wraptorcustoms]

Haha love the ending 😆

[@agostinhojosealexandre5594]

Thank you so much

[@dlj1285]

It’s crazy how much of a difference there can be between those 2 tires, but everyone out there seems to be saying the same thing, so it must be true. Makes me wonder if I should just change them out when new if I end up getting a new F-type….Try and sell the original tires when basically new while they are in theory worth something…Or are they worth anything?1? lol…Good video

[@timhb]

Argh! Bought replacement rear tyres a couple of months back, bought the Michelins too but got 295’s. Oh well…

[@iandeaville652]

Don' t you now have a two different "axle" speeds though, if it was a proper permanent 4x4 in an off-roader it'd be driving the centre diff mad. I'm not scaremongering just "thinking out loud ", love the channel 👍👍

[@v12-s65]

I made a comment about that, the difference should be negligible

[@Professor-Scientist]

@@v12-s65 negotiable ?😂 you mean negligible?

[@DIYNationTH]

What size of tires did you put on the front that matched the back?

[@xedosclau]

Spedo vs GPS were different before too

[@Williamnegus]

So are you upgrading the width of the fronts?

[@HEAVY_IS_THE_METAL]

I have an SVR with 315's in the rear. Best upgrade since i'm also FBO & LOWERED. And it is so true, P-Zero's are TRASH. 👎

[@georgesmith8988]

Can you tell me if these are fitted to the j10.5 rims?

[@evanescecse]

Rip transfer box 🤔

[@MrGB_UK]

Interesting. Why’s that? The different diameter?

[@evanescecse]

@@MrGB_UK Yes the rolling circumference should be matched back and front for a four-wheel-drive as you have put a bigger rolling circumference tyres on the back to the front it will wind up your transfer box.

[@xedosclau]

The rims j is diffrent front vs back.

[@davidclarke7728]

Interesting

[@screamingwheels98]

What's your insurance company's view of this change? Any issue?

[@MrGB_UK]

As it’s a standard factory option, no issues

[@xedosclau]

Continental sport contact 7 are better tires from what i have heard.
