Hi all, We're finally getting round to replacing the tyres on the Jag. When I bought the car, all 4 were all in different conditions and from different manufacturers, which is shocking IMHO, especially for a car with the class and performance of the S-Type, so I can't wait to get a complete set and the more consistent handling they will offer. At the recommend of a previous thread, I asked for Nexen and have been offered N'Fera SU1 at £100 per corner, fitted, valve and balanced etc. They which appear to have tested and been reviewed very well. The other option is Pirelli PZero at £135 a corner, despite the name being better known, I'm not convinced these are a better tyre and suspect I would be paying for the name. Prior to my taking the plunge, does anyone have any recommendations or anything else to contribute. Many thanks, Russ

I don't think the CD player in the S-Type is capable of playing MP3 files. Same CDC chassis in both X and S as far as I'm aware so if it can play MP3 what a bonus

Hi Tony, yes, should do, I have a compilation cd's burned by myself in my 2005 X type 6 stacker without issues. Cheers And

Steve, if it's a petrol then you have no need for concern. If it's a diesel the only thing i would highly recommend is that you REGULARLY get it up to full working temperature on runs, don't just keep doing short runs that don't really get it baking hot. Lots of short runs that don't warm it up properly (and of course diesels take much longer to warm up) can cause problems for you, most noticeably would be problems with the DPF.

Russ, we regularly have the goodyear eagles that Peter has mentioned on our test cars (along with many other brands that we test) and they seem to be great performers. Wet and dry grip is very good, they seem to last longer that a lot of other premium brands and i seem to remember one of our engineers telling me that we don't seem to get as much damage on those tyres, we do give our tyres a good hammering at work and damage on any tyre under normal road driving conditions is a rare thing.

Hi Andrew, Actually owning a Jaguar keeps you young. I am 81 and still feel as if was in my thirties Peter.
